[Streptomyces somaliensis mycetoma with craniofacial involvement].
Mycetoma is a chronic granulomatous infection of the skin from which grains of the causative organism are eliminated via the sinus tracts. We report a rare case of cephalic mycetoma, which presented with an extensive involvement of the skull vault, base and an extradural granuloma. The diagnosis and treatment of the disease are discussed.
