Abstract:
The characteristic fungal bodies of chromoblastomycosis,
known as Medlar bodies, are visualized as
golden brown rounded bodies in routine hematoxylin
and eosin (H&E) stained tissue sections of the
skin (Fig. 1). We report a hither to undocumented
staining pattern of Medlar bodies that will be useful
when they are not identified in routine H&E stains,
in cases with a high index of clinical suspicion.........
