[Value of radiology for the diagnosis of mycetomas (author's transl)]. 1979

J P Peyron, and P Herouin, and C Lesquere, and A Piriou, and P Pascal-Suisse, and J P Eynard

Mycetomas have raised a new interest because of cases introduced from tropical areas to non endemic countries, and because of the emergence in these countries of autochthonous cases in immuno-depressed patients. Radiologic diagnosis is no more limited to the description of osseous changes, the basic aspects of which are characteristic: cortical erosion, periosteous condensation and reaction. Using modern radiological technics such as arteriography and lymphography, gives a possibility to appreciate more thoroughly the extension and the potential evolution, so that the radiological approach may be similar to that of carcinology.
