Chromoblastomycosis (Dematiaceous Black Mold Fungus Skin Infection): 5-Minute Pathology Pearls

A complete organized library of all my videos, digital slides, pics, & sample pathology reports is available here: https://kikoxp.com/posts/5084 (dermpath) & https://kikoxp.com/posts/5083 (bone/soft tissue sarcoma pathology). Learn the basic features of chromoblastomycosis, a skin infection caused by various different pigmented dematiaceous fungus species. I love finding those copper pennies! This disease is closely related to (or on a spectrum with) phaeohyphomycosis, which is infection by pigmented dematiaceous fungi where we also find hyphal forms (maybe I'll make a video about that in future). Excerpted from my dermpath basics 3 video for my 5-Minute Pathology Pearls video series.
