Abstract:
We experienced a 57-year-old male patient who have had multiple coin sized, erythematous, psinful, indurated ulcerations with purulent discharge on the right calf area since 10 years before. Previously he received injections of paraffin in the lesion site for correcting the thinning of right calf due to complication of pyoderma. Histopathologic examination showed "Swiss cheese" appearance of parsffinoma. Good result was obtained after treatment with surgical excision and split thickness skin graft.
