Thirty cases of chromoblastomycosis were diagnosed at Hospital dos Servidores do Estado do Maranhão, from November, 1988 to March, 1993. The authors report 2 (6.6%) cases, that presented an association with leprosy. The first patient developed both diseases together, showing palpable bilateral cubital nerves, perforanting ulcer of the right foot, infiltration and lesions in verrucoid plaques in left leg, with positive biopsy for dimorphic leprosy. The second case, a patient with history of lepromatous leprosy for 30 years without treatment, with vegetant lesions with a warty aspect in right elbow for 12 months, histopathologic and positive culture for chromoblastomycosis. The possible factors for development of this disease in these patients are discussed.
