Abstract

Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic fungal infection that occurs in the skin and subcutaneous tissue caused by dematiaceous fungi. This study uses a case study approach obtained from medical record data of patients in the pathology anatomy laboratory of Dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital, Aceh Province within 7 years (2012-2018). Information was obtained that reported cases of chromoblastomycosis tend to increase, especially in the last 2 years (2017-May 2018). During 2013 to 2015 there were no cases of chromoblastomycosis. The dominant patients in the age group above 50 years (62.50%) and the age group 0-10 years as much as 25.00%. The number of male and female chromoblastomycosis sufferers is the same. Localization of dominant lesions (50.00%) is found in the lower limbs (extremities). Specimens were received from the Surgery Department (62.50%) and the Department Dermatology and Venereology (37.50%). The cases obtained were predominantly given a clinical diagnosis as malignant tumors. Initial suspicion and appropriate laboratory diagnosis will assist in initiation of therapy in the early stages and specific isolation of the etiology of the agent can help prevent latent complications.
