Broncho-pleuro-cutaneous fistula and pneumothorax: Rare challenging complications of chest wall eumycetoma

Résumé

We report on a 60-year-old housewife who presented to the Mycetoma Research Centre (MRC) at the University of Khartoum on the 7 December 2016 with a 30-year history of chest wall eumycetoma due to Madurella mycetomatis. Two months prior to presentation to the MRC, a discharging sinus in the left lateral side of the chest wall was noted by the patient. The discharge was purulent and contained black grains. Just before presentation, air leak from the sinus was noted and she developed general weakness and deterioration.
