Eumycetoma of the Foot in a 70-Year-Old Male Farmer. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT Clinicians should consider eumycetoma, actinomycotic mycetoma, and skin cancers in patients from tropical or subtropical regions who present with painless swelling and discharging sinuses. The early histopathology, microbiological studies in conjunction with imaging, are of critical importance in narrowing the differential and starting ...

Ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration cytology significantly improved mycetoma diagnosis
Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, Volume 36, Issue 10, Page 1845-1850, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Background Ultrasound (US)‐guided fine‐needle aspiration cytology (US‐FNAC) has improved the diagnosis of many malignancies, infections and other diseases as it is safe, simple, quick and accurate. In mycetoma, it is assumed that this technique may have a better diagnostic yield than the conventional FNAC as it can accurately identify the ...

Eumycotic mycetoma involving the right foot: A new Tunisian case
Clinical Case Reports, Volume 10, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022 A Tunisian patient with painless swelling and discharging sinuses of the right foot was diagnosed with eumycetoma after 1 year of evolution. Mycetoma is a neglected disease relatively rare in our country. An early and accurate diagnosis, based on histopathological and microbiological examinations, limits functional and esthetical damage.
