    AbstractA forty-year-old woman suffering from maduromycosis of the right sole is described with a disease history of 17 years. After a contusion and surgery for fibroma she developed an edema on the skin of the right sole, then ulcers with purulent discharge. She was repeatedly treated on an outpatient basis and in hospital by surgeons, phthisiologist, and dermatologist for osteomyelitis, tuberculosis of the bones, and Kaposi's sarcoma without effect. The diagnosis of maduromycosis of the sole was confirmed by laboratory examinations and histologically by detecting Actinomyces elements. Since conservative therapy has proved ineffective, surgical treatment was recommended.
