N2 - A 29-year-old Thai women had draining sinus tracts, tumefaction, and granules on the plantar aspect of the foot. Phialophora verrucosa was isolated from the lesion. P. verrucosa is a major agent of chromoblastomycosis, which is known to rarely cause subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis. This dematiaceous fungus has not been previously reported to cause mycetoma. This case illustrates the clinical spectrum of disease of this fungus. The salient features of mycetoma and management options are presented.
