Histopathological examination showed fibrocollagenous tissue infiltrated by mixed inflammatory infiltrate with superimposed giant cell reaction. There were colonies of fungus that on close examination showed septae, branching hyphae along with spores. They were PAS positive and gram stain negative. A diagnosis of eumycetoma of the hand was put forth. Keywords: Eumycetoma, Hand, Black granules
