Abstract

Mycetoma or 'Madura foot' is a chronic granulomatous soft-tissue infection caused by true fungi (eumycetoma) or by bacteria of the order Actinomycetales (actinomycetoma). It may be difficult to demonstrate these fastidious organisms either on biopsy or microbiological culture, thus exacerbating morbidity can occur due to delays in diagnosis and therapeutic intervention. US and MRI can strongly suggest the diagnosis of mycetoma when it demonstrates the "dot-in-circle" sign. We present the US and MRI findings of a patient with mycetoma of the foot that demonstrated this characteristic sign.

Özet

Miçetoma veya 'Madura Ayağı', gerçek mantarlar (ömiçetoma) veya Aktinomiçes (aktinomiçetoma) türü bakteriler tarafından oluşan kronik granülamatöz yumuşak doku enfeksiyonudur. Bu zor gelişen mikroorganizmaları, biyopsi veya mikrobiyolojik kültürde göstermek zor olabilir, bu yüzden tanı ve tedavi gecikmeleri nedeniyle artmış morbidite gelişebilir. US ve MRG, "çember içinde nokta" bulgusu tespit edildiğinde tanıyı işaret eder. Bu karakteristik bulguyu gösteren ayak miçetoması olan bir olgunun US ve MRG bulgularını sunuyoruz.
