Chromoblastomycosis, a localized chronic cutaneous and subcutaneous infection of the skin caused by pigmented fungi, is most common in the world's tropical and subtropical zones. The condition rarely occurs in Australia. We present 6 cases of chromoblastomycosis seen at the Royal Darwin Hospital, Northern Territory, from 1989 to 1994 and affecting predominantly male Caucasians ranging from 38 to 71 yrs of age. Clinically the lesions were verrucous or nodular. They mimicked basal or squamous cell carcinoma, nevi or solar keratoses. Histopathologic findings were nonspecific. The only pathognomonic finding was the presence of brown spores or sclerotic bodies within granulomata or within microabscesses in the skin.
着色芽生菌病是一种由色素真菌引起的皮肤局部慢性皮肤和皮下感染，在世界热带和亚热带地区最为常见。这种疾病在澳大利亚很少发生。我们报告了1989年至1994年在北领地达尔文皇家医院见到的6例着色芽生菌病病例，主要影响年龄在38岁至71岁之间的白人男性。临床上，病变为疣状或结节状。它们类似基底细胞癌或鳞状细胞癌、痣或日光性角化病。组织病理学表现无特异性。唯一的特征性发现是在肉芽肿内或皮肤微脓肿内存在棕色孢子或硬壳细胞。
