Cerebellar chromoblastomycosis in an immunocompetent individual: A rare case report with brief literature review
Mousumi Biswas, Arun Gowda Keelara, Shruti Gupta, Niraj Kumari 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.
