A 64-year-old woman presents with wounds to her left ankle. Although her soft-tissue cultures and arterial Doppler and duplex studies were unremarkable, her venous reflux studies showed right and left small saphenous vein insufficiency. After 8 weeks of standard treatment, her wounds to the left ankle did not improve, and she developed a wound to her right anterior leg. Her left ankle wound healed 8 months after initial presentation, and her right leg wound healed in 3 months. Thereafter she underwent an endovenous ablation of her left small saphenous vein, without apparent complications. Two weeks after surgery, she developed an incision site scab that worsened and ulcerated. This case report highlights pathergy from endovenous ablation for lower-extremity venous disease.
Pedal Presentation of Superficial Acral Fibromyxoma
A Case Report
Superficial acral fibromyxoma is a benign and slow-growing solitary soft-tissue neoplasm. Since being described in 2001, more than 100 cases of superficial acral fibromyxoma on the foot have been reported worldwide, none of which have been reported in the podiatric medical literature. Only nine cases of superficial acral fibromyxoma have been reported with presentation on the plantar heel. We report an unusual case of a 47-year-old Jamaican woman with a painful, erythematous nodule on her right heel that was diagnosed as superficial acral fibromyxoma.
