    Subcutaneous chromoblastomycosis is an infection commonly seen in tropical and subtropical climates, usually caused by trauma with vegetables and often affects the host's lower limbs. We report a case of auricular chromoblastomycosis in a 67-year-old man and discuss the rarity of this clinical manifestation of chromoblastomycosis in the medical literature. in the present case, the etiologic agent was Fonsecaea pedrosoi, the most common agent found in Brazil.

    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2017) Santos, D. W. [UNIFESP]; Camargo, L. P. [UNIFESP]; Goncalves, S. S. [UNIFESP]; Ogawa, M. M.; Tomimori, J. [UNIFESP]; Enokihara, M. M.; Medina-Pestana, J. O.; Colombo, A. L. [UNIFESP]
    Objectives: This is a retrospective and observational study addressing clinical and therapeutic aspects of melanized fungal infections in kidney transplant recipients. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of all patients admitted between January 1996 and December 2013 in a single institution who developed infections by melanized fungi. Results: We reported on 56 patients aged between 30 and 74 years with phaeohyphomycosis or chromoblastomycosis (0.54 cases per 100 kidney transplants). The median time to diagnosis post-transplant was 31.2 months. Thirty-four (60.8%) infections were reported in deceased donor recipients. Fifty-one cases of phaeohyphomycosis were restricted to subcutaneous tissues, followed by two cases with pneumonia and one with brain involvement. Most dermatological lesions were represented by cysts (23/51
