- Abstract
Mycetomas are pathological processes in which fungal or actinomycotic agents emit seeds. It is a chronic infectious disease, endemic in tropical countries, that affects the soft tissues and the skeleton with sometimes fatal visceral damage. Foot involvement is by far the most common, occurring in 80% of cases. The treatment of mycetomas depends on their etiology, medical or surgical. Herein, we report a rare case of a foot and leg eumycetoma. The purpose of this work was to recall this rare condition, often overlooked by practitioners, remaining a source of therapeutic difficulties.
