“…Verrucous carcinoma is often related to skin infection 8 ; thus, it is essential to obtain a complete history to assess host risk factors, and wound healing 9 . Because of thin skin and subcutaneous tissue, and small foot muscles, focal carcinoma lesion is often complicated by local infection 10 . Wide local excision is the treatment of choice.…”

“…Differential diagnoses include viral warts, pseudocarcinomatous hyperplasia, and mycosis. [19] [20] Although the clinical and macroscopic findings can be marked (the formation of a bulky, exophytic mass, which may ulcerated with numerous sinuses from which foul-smelling purulent keratinous debris is expressed), the definitive diagnosis is made pathohistologically. Specimens exhibit both endophytic and exophytic growth patterns.…”

“…The residual defect can then be covered with a skin graft or radial forearm free flap. [20] [21] amputations are occasionally required for aggressively invasive disease, and in the presence of poor vascular status, massive skin defects, postoperative infections, or in tumour recurrence secondary to incomplete excision . The long-term prognosis for definitively treated VC is good, with cure rates of up to 98%.…”

Most of patients having soft tissue lesion on heel/foot reffered to plastic surgeon because reconstructive options for heel/foot are difficult for general surgeons/orthopedicians. So as a plastic surgeon we should be aware of this rare but local tumor of foot, so that we can diagnose it early and manage properly.We present a case series of 4 patients of verrucous carcinoma of the foot. This is a rare, locally invasive, well differentiated, low-grade squamous cell carcinoma, with HPV as a possible causative agent. It follows a chronic course and mimics a variety of skin lesions, delaying diagnosis by up to 15 years. The definitive diagnosis is made histologically, and treatment by wide local excision is recommended. Our patients underwent wide local excision and reconstructed. Three patients had lesion on heel, were managed using reverse peroneal artery flap and fourth patient had lesion on forefoot, was managed using reverse medial planter artery flap. There were no postoperative complications. There was no functional impairment.

“…Delay in treatment of skin cancers of the foot is not unusual (4,8), because the differential diagnosis more likely should consider other benign entities (8). Olshansky (4) reported a five-year delay in the diagnosis of a basal cell carcinoma of the sole of the foot, the rationale being that this is such a rarity.…”

Basal cell carcinoma masquerading as a hallux valgus

GG Hallock, IS Bulatao. Basal cell carcinoma masquerading as a hallux valgus. Can J Plast Surg 2007;15(1):47-48.The incidence of primary skin cancers of the foot is exceedingly low; conversely, problems associated with a hallux valgus are common. A nonhealing ulcer overlying a hallux valgus managed conservatively with ointments and orthotic adjustments, and even with skin grafts, did not resolve over a period of 10 years. Ultimately, a shave biopsy revealed that the lesion was a basal cell carcinoma. Wide local excision and another skin graft resulted in tumour eradication and, finally, healing. Basal cell carcinoma associated with a hallux valgus has not been previously reported, and this reinforces the concept that malignant degeneration as the cause of any chronic ulceration should not be overlooked.Key Words: Basal cell carcinoma; Hallux valgus; Skin cancer Un carcinome basocellulaire déguisé en hallux valgus L'incidence de cancers cutanés primaires du pied est extrêmement basse. Par contre, les troubles reliés à l'hallux valgus sont courants. Dans la présente étude de cas, un ulcère réfractaire sur un hallux valgus, traité de manière classique avec des onguents, des orthèses et même des greffes de peau, ne s'est pas résorbé en dix ans. Finalement, une biopsie-exérèse a révélé que la lésion était un carcinome basocellulaire. Une large excision locale et une autre greffe de peau ont permis d'éradiquer la tumeur et de favoriser la cicatrisation. Aucun cas de carcinome basocellulaire associé à un hallux valgus n'a été déclaré auparavant, ce qui démontre qu'il ne faut ne pas écarter la possibilité qu'une ulcération chronique soit causée par une dégénérescence maligne.
