ABSTRACT
Mycetomas are inflammatory pseudotumors containing fungal or actinomycosis-type grains. They are frequent in tropical and subtropical countries but rare in Tunisia. We report a new case in a 32-year-old man who presented with a tumefaction of the foot with multiple skin fistulae. The diagnosis of mycetoma was suspected on physical examination and confirmed after histopathological examination

Meckel Gruber syndrome is a rare lethal autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a clinical and genetical heterogenicity. Currently, the diagnosis is based on some major criteria: occipital meningo-encephalocele, bilateral polycystic displastic kidneys and postaxial polydactily. Prenatal diagnosis by a transvaginal ultrasound is possible at the 11th week of gestation justifying therapeutic abortion. The prevalence little valued in our country and the variability of the genes according to ethnics as well as their expression phenotypic in the same ethnic opens perspectives in the fundamental research as for the positioning of genes and the survey of their expression
