Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a neglected, chronic subcutaneous disease with progressive development, caused by a variety of melanized fungal species, mainly Fonsecaea pedrosoi. We report a case of CBM in which Alternaria alternata was identified as the etiological agent in a patient with no history of immunodeficiency or other medical conditions that impair the immune response.
