Misdiagnosis of cutaneous epithelioid angiosarcoma as diabetic foot ulcer: a case study.
Wounds : a Compendium of Clinical Research and Practice 2024 Februrary
BACKGROUND: AS is a malignant tumor that originates from vascular endothelial cells and is known for a high rate of local recurrence and metastasis.
CASE REPORT: A 48-year-old male presented with cutaneous epithelioid AS. Cutaneous AS of the foot is quite rare, especially in the absence of predisposing factors, and in this patient it was previously misdiagnosed as a DFU.
CONCLUSION: Physicians should be aware of this rare presentation of cutaneous AS. The authors of the current report advise regular clinical reassessment of chronic ulcers and biopsies of nonhealing wounds, even when adequate wound treatment has been administered, with the goal of identifying ulcerated skin malignancies and preventing delay in providing appropriate treatment.
