TitleRight foot with squamous carcinoma
DescriptionPortion of the right leg and foot, showing a carcinoma.
From a male cloth-finisher aged 53 years, in whom chronic tuberculous dermatitis of the right foot and leg had existed since childhood. Ulceration destroyed the toes, but when he was about 23 years of age surgery resulted in such improvement that he remained well for the next 16 years. Some six months before amputation a warty growth appeared on the sole and gradually increased in size.
Chronic inflammation has resulted in extensive atrophy of the skin with local accumulation of epithelium in the form of large scales. A warty growth measuring some 70 mm sagittally by 40 mm coronally projects from the lateral plantar aspect of the foot anterior to the heel and forms an irregular nodular hemispherical mass.
