Arteriovenous malformation with an ulcer of the foot--report of a case.
An unusual case of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) associated with ulcer arising on the sole of the left foot is reported. This ulcer was precipitated by pregnancy. After a split thickness skin graft repaired the ulcer, diffuse AVM was found on the left lower leg by arteriography. All the involved vessels were totally excised and the course was comparatively good. Clinical manifestations of AVM, incidences of ulcer in AVM, histological differentiation from Kaposi sarcoma, and treatment of AVM are discussed.
