ABSTRACT

A 40-year-old male patient of the black race came to the Doctor’s office due to an increase in volume in the right lower limb. Surgical treatment was performed and eumycetoma was diagnosed. The causative agents of mycetomas are of exogenous origin, and can be fungi (eumycetoma) or actinomycetals (actinomycetoma). They are more frequent in men, although they occur with a very low frequency. Several stages of the disease are observed in endemic areas: plaques in early lesions, advanced lesions, nodules with drainage to the bony sinuses and, very rarely, the formation of a cyst of varying size. Histology consists of a mixture of granulomatous and suppurative reaction, in the dermis and the subcutis.
