Article Synopsis
  • Mycetoma is a chronic infection affecting the skin and subcutaneous tissues, marked by localized swelling, draining sinuses, and the presence of grains from the causative organism.
  • It can be caused by either actinomycetoma (bacterial) or eumycetoma (fungal), with actinomycetoma typically producing white-yellow grains and eumycetoma producing black grains.
  • In a unique case, a 28-year-old female exhibited symptoms suggestive of eumycetoma, but it was ultimately diagnosed as actinomycetoma caused by Streptomyces sp., which surprisingly produced black grains, a rare finding in such infections.

SE can worsen by extending superiorly to the peri-orbital region and inferiorly to the thorax and abdomen along the fascial planes. Upward progression can result in cavernous sinus thrombosis.
