Abstract
Mycetoma has not been previously reported in Korea. A case of mycetoma caused by Acremonium falciforme in a 72-year-old man is described. The patient had a single, large, well-demarcated, erythematous, swollen, black, escharlike lesion and three small satellite lesions on his right temporal area. He was treated with itraconazole, and all lesions healed with residual scars in 70 days.
