Abstract:
Chromoblastomycosis, though rare in non-endemic regions like Lebanon, should be considered in patients presenting with chronic, verrucous skin lesions unresponsive to conventional therapies. Multimodal treatment combining oral antifungals, cryotherapy, and adjunctive topical 5-Fluorouracil demonstrates efficacy in managing refractory cases. Follow-up visits three and 6 months after treatment cessation showed sustained lesion clearance and no recurrence.
