Abstract

Objective: To report a case of Lobomycosis treated in the city of Monte Alegre-Pará, in Amazon countryside. Case report: Male patient, with 35 years old, had a keloid injury in the left lower limb with 3 years of evolution, with previous diagnosis of Lobomycosis by histopathological examination and previous treatment with cryosurgery, however, with recurrence of the lesion a year ago. A new attempt at treatment due to excision of the lesion has been proposed, without signs of recurrence for 18 months. Final considerations: As lobomycosisis seen in specific areas and, in general, poorly developed, there is a substantial lack of scientific knowledge on the subject; this justifies the study’s importance in this scenario. In addition, so far, at literature, no fully effective therapy against the agent Lacazia loboi has been presented. In the case report, however, the patient showed a completely satisfactory response with the therapy applied.
