The Surgical Treatment of Mycetoma
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016 Surgical intervention is an integral component in the diagnosis and management of mycetoma. Surgical treatment is indicated for small, localised lesions and massive lesions to reduce the mycetoma load and to enable better response to medical therapy.

Merits and Pitfalls of Currently Used Diagnostic Tools in Mycetoma [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 Treatment of mycetoma depends on the causative organism and since many organisms, both actinomycetes (actinomycetoma) and fungi (eumycetoma), are capable of producing mycetoma, an accurate diagnosis is crucial.
