Use of the inverted “T” incision to approach a plantar nodular lesion

Abstract: Knowledge of the inverted "T" incision - used in plastic, oncologic and orthopedic surgery - has allowed its adaptation for the diagnostic assessment and therapeutical approach of acral, nodular lesions. The authors describe the use of this technique for the surgical approach of a patient with a plantar nodular lesion, further diagnosed as a calcified angioleiomyoma.

“…The term ACVL has been proposed for this variant. 7 Clinically, ACVLs present as nondescript, tender nodules usually on the feet of middle age or elderly patients, with age ranging from 35 to 78 years (average, 59.5 years), [5][6][7][8][9][10] on average, one decade older than in conventional angioleiomyomas. 2,3 Female-to-male ratio including our 3 cases is 1.9, similar to that reported for angioleiomyomas, which is usually around 1.7.…”

“…1,4 Furthermore, extensive calcification sometimes masquerading the real nature of the tumor is highly unusual, with only 31 cases reported in the literature. [5][6][7][8][9] This change occurs more often in distal locations and has been interpreted as degenerative in nature and related to repetitive minor trauma. 9 The term acral calcified vascular leiomyoma (ACVL) has been proposed for this entity, which is rarely diagnosed on clinical grounds and needs histopathological confirmation.…”

“…Los autores del presente artículo han realizado una revisión bibliográfica de esta tumoración encontrando un total de 16 artículos en los que aparece una predisposición de los leiomiomas vasculares en el miembro inferior [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] . La mayoría de la bibliografía revisada hace referencia a sujetos femeninos de edades comprendidas entre los 40 y los 75 años, que acuden a consulta por presentar un nódulo doloroso a la presión con un tiempo de evolución de 2 a 6 años y con un tamaño de 0,5 a 2 centímetros.…”

“…En 5 de ellos el angioleioma estaba localizado en el pie, concretamente en el primer metatarsiano (2 casos) 8,12 , sobre el túnel tarsal 4 , en el talón 13 y en el tendón de Aquiles 2 . Los pacientes que presentaban angioleiomiomas 8,12,13 en la planta del pie corresponden a varones de entre 45 y 68 años con un antecedente en común de diabetes mellitus y con un tiempo de evolución de la lesión de 3 a 6 años. En la literatura existen dos artículos con mucha similitud al caso clínico que se presenta, con una localización anatómica muy similar en la zona plantar del primer metatarsiano 8,12 .…”
