description |
Madura foot or mycetoma pedis is a chronic granulomatous disease of the foot caused by fungus or gram-positive aerobic bacteria. It is commonly encountered in tropical and subtropical countries but is rare in Malaysia. We report a 40-year-old Rohingya refugee, a resident in Malaysia for the past 11 years, who presented with a long-standing left foot mass that was proven to be a eumycetoma. Wide local excision of the mass and full-thickness skin graft were done, followed by a 6-month course of postoperative itraconazole. He subsequently recovered well without any sequela. A high index of suspicion should be raised in a patient presenting with a chronic mass and discharging sinus in order to diagnose and treat mycetoma as early initiation of therapy leads to better outcomes. Based on literature review, we propose a new classification of eumycetoma and its treatment guidelines. |
