RESUMEN

Madura foot is a chronic, progressively destructive bacterial or fungal infection of the subcutaneous tissues, which may affect skin, muscle, and bone. It is endemic in tropical and subtropical areas known as the "Mycetoma belt" between latitude 30°N and 15°S. Mycetoma is prevalent in the poor population living in remote areas of developing countries that lack proper reporting system and management. The World Health Organization recognized mycetoma as a neglected tropical disease back in 2016. Though the diagnosis is challenging, early detection and proper treatment can reduce morbidity and provide a promising outcome. We report a case of chronic painless, multiple papulo-nodular skin lesions at the foot that resembles mycetoma infection which was detected early and recovered with a satisfactory outcome with proper treatment.
