Abstract EN
Fungi are unusual causes of pedal osteomyelitis in children and adolescents.
Eumycetoma is a chronic cutaneous and subcutaneous infection caused by various genera of fungi.
A provisional diagnosis of foot mycetoma is made after clinical assessment.
Radiologic-pathologic correlation is an essential supplement for the accurate diagnosis of osteoarticular infections.
This paper aims to sensitize orthopedic surgeons, radiologists, and pathologists to the importance of correlative imaging findings in relation to surgical and microscopic pathology in osteoarticular infections, specifically eumycetoma osteomyelitis of the foot.
From our review of the published data, the present case is the first report of radiologic-pathologic correlation in eumycetoma osteomyelitis of the calcaneus.
This paper describes a case of eumycetoma osteomyelitis of the calcaneus in a child in which diagnostic X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were correlated with the surgical and microscopic pathologic features, for establishing an appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
We conclude that there is a significant agreement between radiologic and pathologic evaluation for assessment of eumycetoma osteomyelitis of the calcaneus.
Radiologic-pathologic correlation amplified our interpretation of imaging information available on plain radiographs and MRI and augmented diagnostic confidence.
Similarly, anatomic-histopathological correlations consolidated diagnostic accuracy.
