Chromomycosis is a fungal infection that affects the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue and is caused by dematiaceous fungal species that turn black on staining. We report the case of a 50-year-old male patient who was a rural worker and had been treated without success for three decades. Facial lesions progressed and caused severe cicatricial retraction. As the infection evolved, the left upper eyelid developed cicatricial ectropion. The surgical treatment was performed using skin obtained from the patient's own abdomen. Patient has developed a good postoperative appearance
