Abstract

A 37-year-old woman, with no relevant pathological history, consulted for the presence of a lesion on the ball of the second left toe of 8 months of evolution, asymptomatic, of abrupt onset and stable size, not related to a previous trauma, bleeding before minimal friction. Physical examination revealed a purplish-red plaque, 7 mm in diameter, with well-defined edges, an irregular surface, and a central pustule. There was no thrill or rise in local temperature (Photo 1). Dermoscopy revealed a monomorphic pattern composed of multiple, well-defined, red-milky gaps of different sizes, distributed throughout the lesion (Photo 2).
