Zusammenfassung:Two cases of eumycotic mycetomas in the head and neck region are reported. The first case is the localized mycetoma which involved only the soft tissue of the neck. It was completely excised and the patient needed no further treatment. In the second case, the lesion extensively involved the structures in the parapharyngeal space, submandibular space and carotid sheath. The upper limit is the skull base. The patient was treated by combination of wide excision with radial forearm flap and antifungal agents, however, the prognosis is fair.
