Morphological diagnosis of blastomycosis clinically presenting as mycetoma in a young immunocompetent Indian patient; A diagnostic dilemma

Abstract

Primary cutaneous blastomycosis is very rare in non-endemic regions like India. Only few cases have been reported from India. Herein, we are reporting a rare case of chronic cutaneous blastomycosis in a young immunocompetent male presenting as mycetoma with multiple discharging sinuses in the anterior abdominal wall with no significant travel history.
