Caption:
Under a magnification of 400X, four times greater than PHIL 10921, this photomicrograph revealed some of the cytoarchitectural morphology associated with a number of mycetoma granules, which were found to be present in this human tissue sample of unknown origin. The infection of this tissue sample by an unknown fungal pathogen, and the chronic granulomatous response to the invading organism, is evident, characterized by the formation of these sclerotia, or granules, which are walled off by fibrous encapsulations.
