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.
