More than 20 microbial and fungal agents can cause Mycetoma. Cases: The first case was a 41-year-old man that a swollen and painless lesion was observed in dorsum of his right foot when he was six. After a few months that the lesion got larger and pus to come out of its ducts, operation was done. After 10 years, he had pain and swelling in his foot again because of touching with iron foreign body. Mycetoma of foot was confirmed by radiology and testing that treated with co-trimoxazole and amikacin and a recurrence of the disease was not observed for 1.5 years. The second case was a 38-year-old man who referred with pain and swelling of foot after a hit that with diagnosis of infectious arthritis was treated. After 6 months due to lack of improvement, Mycetoma of foot was confirmed by testing and radiology which treated with co-trimoxazole and the recurrence of the disease was not seen until one year later. Conclusion: Low environmental and public hygiene due to this disorder with long-term morbidity.
