Abstract
Chromoblastomycosis in intracranial locations is extremely rare in immunocompetent hosts. Neurotropism of fungal elements has been reported in the literature mostly in immunocompromised individuals. We report a case of a 36-year-old industrial worker with disseminated untreated skin lesions and presenting with cerebellar symptoms and space-occupying lesion in the left cerebellar hemisphere. Histopathological examination revealed a diagnosis of cerebellar chromoblastomycosis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of cerebellar chromoblastomycosis in an immunocompetent individual.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Neuropathology appears bi-monthly and publishes reviews and editorials, original papers, short communications and reports on recent advances in the entire field of clinical neuropathology. Papers on experimental neuropathologic subjects are accepted if they bear a close relationship to human diseases. Correspondence (letters to the editors) and current information including book announcements will also be published.
