Description
Summary:	A 46-year-old farmer living in a rural area, who sustained an injury to his left foot 10 years ago, consulted due to progressive swelling of the same foot. An MRI revealed the “dot-in-circle” sign, suggestive of mycetoma of the foot, also known as Madura foot. This condition primarily affects soft tissues and bones and can occasionally lead to potentially severe visceral complications. Foot involvement is predominant, observed in 80% of cases.
