Abstract
Abstract: Mycetoma (tumour-like mass) is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by actinomycetes or fungi characterized by localized infection of subcutaneous tissues, often extends to the underlying bone [1].The patient gives a history of previous trauma (prick/cut/splinter)prior to granulomatous reaction. The infection spreads through the skin, facial planes and can involve the bone. Infection most commonly involves the foot but can involve the hands, back or shoulders. Madura foot is more common in tropics and subtropical regions and was first reported in Madurai, a place in south India(hence called Madura foot) .we report here a case of a sixty-year-old daily worker presented with multiple discharging sinuses all over the foot.
