Treatment of an epithelioma cuniculatum plantare by local excision and a plantar skin flap.
Differentiation between benign and malignant lesions on the plantar surfaces is sometimes clinically impossible and requires biopsy. A case of epithelioma cuniculatum plantare is reported that was futilely treated for years as a plantar wart and then upon proper diagnosis was successfully treated by complete excision and rotation of a flap of plantar skin.
