Mycetoma leg a--case report.
One rare and peculiar result of repeated minor trauma to the leg is Madura foot. Caused by fungi or fungus-like bacteria, Madura foot is found mainly in the tropics. A report of a classic case with chronic indurated swelling involving the leg and a discharge of yellowish granules is presented. The case is reported to highlight the fact that though Maduramycosis needs prolonged intensive antibacterial chemotherapy, even extensive disease can be successfully managed with conservative therapy.
