ABSTRACT

Mycetoma is a chronic, progressive and destructive granulomatous disease that affects the skin, subcutaneous and connective tissues, muscles and bones, making it a serious condition. It may be fungal or bacterial in origin, and is found electively at the podal level, hence the name "Madura foot". They are common in tropical and subtropical countries but rare in Morocco. We report two cases who had consulted for a polyfistulised swelling of the dorsum of the foot whose diagnosis was suspected clinically and confirmed after anatomopathological examination.
