Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Atypical presentations of eumycetoma can pose a challenge in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Healthcare providers thorough in their differential diagnosis and investigations, even in the absence of classic symptoms, in order to improve early detection and the case management for such a neglected tropical disease.
UNASSIGNED: In this communication, we present a case study of an unusual presentation of eumycetoma; a fungal infection that is considered a neglected tropical disease. The patient, a 28-year-old male from Sudan, presented with a recurrent mass in the abdominal wall. Despite two surgeries to remove the mass, it continued to recur. Unlike typical cases of eumycetoma, this patient did not exhibit common symptoms such as painless swelling, sinuses, or grain-containing discharge. The diagnosis was made incidentally after surgical excision of the mass. The abstract highlights the importance of recognizing uncommon presentations and maintaining a high suspicion for rare diagnoses, even in the absence of classic symptoms. Further research is needed to better understand atypical presentations of eumycetoma and improve early detection.

摘要：
■真菌瘤的非典型表现可能对该疾病的诊断和治疗构成挑战。医疗保健提供者彻底进行鉴别诊断和调查，即使没有经典症状，为了改善这种被忽视的热带病的早期发现和病例管理。
■在此通信中，我们提供了一个案例研究，该案例研究是一种罕见的真菌感染，被认为是一种被忽视的热带病。病人,一名来自苏丹的28岁男性,呈现腹壁复发性肿块。尽管做了两次手术来切除肿块，它继续复发。与典型的Eumycetoma病例不同，该患者没有表现出常见症状，例如无痛肿胀，鼻窦,或含谷物的放电。诊断是在手术切除肿块后偶然做出的。摘要强调了识别不常见表现并对罕见诊断保持高度怀疑的重要性，即使没有经典症状。需要进一步的研究来更好地了解真菌瘤的非典型表现并改善早期发现。
