Osler's nodes on the dorsum of the foot.
Osler's nodes developed on the dorsum of the left foot of a patient with enterococcal endocarditis and on the dorsum of the right foot of another patient with Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis. The lesions were erythematous, raised, and very painful, but they resolved completely. There was no evidence of other embolic phenomena at the time the Osler's node appeared.
