Mycetoma medura foot

Mycetoma (named because of the tumour-like mass it forms) is a chronic granulomatous disease characterised by localised infection of subcutaneous tissues by actinomycetes or fungi. The inflammatory response can extend to the underlying bone.[1] Mycetoma was described first in the mid-1800s and was initially called Madura foot.[2]
