Abstract

The literature states that proper management of Madura foot strongly depends on accurate identification of the causative organism. We describe the case of a patient with Madura foot who was diagnosed with eumycetoma after the dot-in-circle sign, which has been previously reported in regard to magnetic resonance images of this lesion, was observed on both ultrasound and magnetic resonance images.

Level of clinical evidence: 4.
