A case of mycetoma due to M. mycetomatis is reported in a horse which presented with multiple subcutaneous swelling over the right scapula. There were no discharging fistulae present. Macroscopically the lesion contained a black granular material embedded in a granulomatous mass. Microscopically large numbers of microcolonies were present containing segmented hyphae. M. mycetomatis was cultured from the lesion. Therapy consisting of surgical excision and local treatment with tiabendazole powder was successful.
