CLINICAL FEATURES: We present a case report of 55-year-old male with a twenty-six-year history of recurrent left plantar mass with discharging black granules and pain on ambulation who is unresponsive to antibacterial and antifungal therapy. INTERVENTION AND OUTCOME: Surgical excision pf the mass combined with antifungal therapy using itraconazole 200 mg twice a day is given port surgery. Currently, the patient is undergoing regular follow-ups with re-evaluation after 6 months to re-assess the patient’s treatment regimen. Currently, the patient is ambulatory with minimal assistance using the cane. CONCLUSION: Identification of the microorganism remain to be the cornerstone of treatment. Eumycetoma is frequently neglected and diagnosed at an advanced stage. If left untreated, Involvement of underlying tissues such as the bones and muscles could lead to fatal consequence.
