Mycetoma is a chronic, granulomatous, subcutaneous, inflammatory disease caused by true fungi (eumycetoma) or filamentous bacteria (actinomycetoma). Eumycetoma usually affects adult males involving limbs and other exposed body parts. Children represent the least commonly encountered age group with this disease. A case of subcutaneous facial mycosis due to Madurella mycetomatis in a three year old child was diagnosed at the Microbiology department Armed Forces Institute of Pathology Rawalpindi, which to our knowledge is the first case reported of its kind. Early diagnosis and timely medical therapy lead to favourable outcome without any surgical intervention.
