Chromoblastomycosis (CBM), a prevalent subcutaneous mycosis in tropical and subtropical regions caused by dematiaceous fungi, often presents as refractory lesions. This case report details a 63-year-old woman from Tianjin, China, with CBM caused by Cladophialophora carrionii after plant trauma. Successful treatment with itraconazole was performed. After 3 months, the lesions improved significantly. The case highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and tailored antifungal therapy, as well as the need for long-term follow-up because of the chronic nature of the disease.
