    Hi folks.
    This is supposed to be an extremely rare change in a wound. It is often associated with squamous cell carcinoma, and less often in chronic leg ulcers. We have had 2 here in the last couple of years in patients with diabetic foot wounds. One of the stimulants for their growth is irritation -> debridement, which we do quite a bit for plantar HK thick wounds.
    Has anybody had any experience/advice with these lesions?

    Cheers

    Thanks for the link Lizzy.
    Unfortunately, it is just adding to the already bleak reading that I have done on this. The outcomes for multiple treatment modalities appear to be less than successful long term, and often the PEH returns.
    I certainly appreciate you having a poke around for me.

    Cheers.
