THE CASE SERIES OF MUSCULOKELETAL MADURA ON MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.

Mahnoor Hafeez, amjad sattar

Abstract


Mycetoma is a rare chronic cutaneous and subcutaneous infection caused by various genera of fungi. Approximately 40% of mycetomas worldwide are eumycotic as opposed to actinomycotic (ie, caused by bacterial actinomycetes). The disease is marked by progressive destruction of soft tissue and nearby anatomic structures. In this paper, the characteristic features of mycetoma of the foot on Magnetic Resonance Imaging in three of Dow University Hospital patients are presented.
