What happens during the disease - mycetoma, unspecified
Mycetoma is a chronic granulomatous disease characterized by the formation of a mass of granulomatous tissue containing grains of fungal or bacterial origin. the exact pathogenesis of mycetoma is not fully understood, but it is believed to be caused by an initial traumatic introduction of the infectious agent into the skin which then leads to the formation of a granulomatous reaction. this granulomatous reaction is then perpetuated by an immune response which leads to the formation of the characteristic mass of granulomatous tissue containing grains.
