Disseminated coccidioidomycosis masquerading as tendinitis.
The authors report on a case of disseminated coccidioidomycosis of the medial cuneiform. This is a rare finding, with only a few reports of Coccidioides immitis being cultured from the bones of the foot. A brief overview of coccidioidomycosis, pertinent imaging studies, and histopathologic evaluation are presented.
