Abstract:
Chronic dermatological problems associated with lower limb amputation sites include local maceration, intertrigo, blistering and ulceration, contact dermatitis, tissue atrophy, verrucous hyperplasia, lichenification, callosities, epidermoid cyst formation, and malignant neoplasia. A 60 year-old male was presented with a verrucous oozing eruption of the amputation stump of the left leg. He had been involved in a railroad logging accident 30 years before, resulting in the loss of the left lower limb. He were a below-knee prosthesis (patellar-tendon hearing). We diagnosed him as verrucous hyperplasia by clinical and histological findings and then referred him to the division of rehabilitation for a refitting of his prosthesis, after which his eruption cleared two months later.
