title: [Histo-pathological features of African mycetomas (author's transl)].
abstract: From a review of 94 original cases of mycetoma, a description of the most important histo-pathological features of these tumors is given. The microscopic diagnosis of mycetoma is easy and so is generally the identification of the responsible agent, either a bacteria or a fungus. In every case and specially in atypic ones a mycological study is necessary to ascertain the aetiological diagnosis.
