I find it hard to make an interpretation with these images but my impression was botryomycosis, I think we can see the eosinophilic coat in the last picture (Splendore-Hoeppli Phenomenon). DD: Mycetoma (I think it is even rarer than botryomycosis in patients less than 5 years old). Peadiatric cases of Botryomycosis are rare in the peadiatric population and should make us consider immune disorders like hyperimmunoglobulinemia E syndrome http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3393403

Agree with Raul, looks like bacterial cocci (botryo).

Agree. No actinomycosis splendore hoeppli like (no club shaped peripheral formations), so I think staphylococcus or other botryomycosis bacterial cocci.
