Streptomyces griseus causes subcutaneous mycetomas in felines and dolphins; however, human mycetoma caused by S. griseus has not previously been reported. Hereby, we report a case of a 50-year-old female presenting with swelling in the left upper cervical region and the left cheek that lasted for 6 months. The fine needle aspiration (FNA) performed on the swelling yielded purulent material; on microscopy, actinomycosis was diagnosed. On culturing, the pus grew S. griseus. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of human mycetoma caused by S. griseus.
灰色链霉菌可导致猫科动物和海豚患皮下真菌瘤；然而，此前尚未有灰色链霉菌引起人类真菌瘤的报道。在此，我们报告一例50岁女性病例，其左上颈部和左脸颊肿胀持续6个月。对肿胀部位进行细针穿刺抽吸（FNA），抽出脓性物质；显微镜检查诊断为放线菌病。培养后，脓液中培养出灰色链霉菌。据我们所知，这是首例由灰色链霉菌引起的人类真菌瘤报道病例。
