Soft tissue mycetoma: “Dot-in-circle” sign on magnetic resonance imaging

The “dot-in-circle” sign in musculoskeletal mycetoma on magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography

This study aimed to present the 'dot-in-circle' sign, which indicates the typical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonographic (USG) findings for mycetoma involving soft tissue and bone. A total of 8 cases with histopathological proof of mycetoma affecting the musculoskeletal system, and that were examined via MRI and/or coexistent diagnostic ultrasonography between 2004 and 2013 in So...

The dot-in-circle sign of mycetoma on MRI.

Mycetoma is a chronic granulomatous disease prevalent in tropical countries, but it also occurs in Europe and the United States. Early diagnosis is important as it has therapeutic implications. Although biopsy and microbiological culture provide the definitive diagnosis, these are difficult to achieve in many instances. The dot-in-circle sign is a recently proposed magnetic resonance imaging (M...
