Congenital venous malformation mimics actinomycetoma foot

Case Report. The patient is a 24-year-old female, a housewife from West Kurdufan State, Sudan, who presented to the Mycetoma Research Center (MRC) with a history of painful right foot. Her condition started with a small painless swelling at the medial side of right foot accompanied by localised hyperhidrosis 16 years prior to presentation. There was no history of previous local trauma. In 2019, the swelling gradually increased in size and pain started at the medial side of her right foot aggravated by rest, especially at night, preventing her from sleep. She used pain killers, cold water, Henna (traditional paint), needle therapy and electric massage to relieve the pain.
