Three cases of pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia mimicking squamous cell carcinoma of the foot: A case series
Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia (PEH) is a benign condition characterized by hyperplasia and proliferation of the epidermis and adnexal epithelium which can mimic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). In our first case, a 55-year-old female with a prior history of split skin graft presented with dark ver...

| description | Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia (PEH) is a benign condition characterized by hyperplasia and proliferation of the epidermis and adnexal epithelium which can mimic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). In our first case, a 55-year-old female with a prior history of split skin graft presented with dark verrucous growth over the graft site with a nonhealing ulcer of 3 cm × 2 cm seen over the ventral aspect of the left foot. Our second case, a 59-year-old male with a prior history of split skin grafting presented with dark verrucous growth and pain over the right forefoot for 3 months. The third case, a 58-year-old man with diabetic foot ulcer with verrucous growth over the toes. In all the cases, the biopsy was done and diagnosed to be PEH. We report this case series of PEH for the proper distinction from the SCC of the skin. |
