A Tunisian patient with painless swelling and discharging sinuses of the right foot was diagnosed with Eumycetoma after 1 year of evolution. Mycetoma is a neglected disease relatively rare in our country. An early and accurate diagnosis, based on histopathological and microbiological examinations, limits functional and esthetical damage.
