Abstract EN
Introduction.
Mycetoma is a localized, chronic, progressive, granulomatous, inflammatory, non contagious, tumour-like lesion with sinuses discharging different types of granules.
The organisms are usually inoculated into any body part subject to trauma-usually the foot.
Treatment is medical and/or surgical.
Prognosis is good in early cases with high recurrences in late cases or those inadequately treated.
The authors describe the successful treatment of a severe case of leg mycetoma, with combined surgical and medical therapies.
