title: [Arteriographic features of rare skin complications of chronic osteomyelitis].
abstract: In the period between 1970 and 1982, 6 carcinomas in scar tissue and 2 pseudocarcinomatous skin papillomatosis were found on the basis of chronic osteomyelitides. Amputation specimens of two carcinomas and one papillomatosis were examined by arteriography. Macroscopically carcinomas in scar tissue showed an unspecific appearance and microscopically a scarefied and partly pathological vascular appearance. Pseudocarcinomatous skin papillomatosis was distinctly hypervascular. Therefore, indications with regard to the localisation of an required exploratory excision can only be obtained from the vascular appearance of papillomatosis but not in case of a scar tissue carcinoma after osteomyelitis. Due to the overall bad blood circulation osteomyelitic scar tissue carcinoma scarcely reacts positively to a chemotherapeutic treatment.
