Description
Summary:Afour-month-old male infant was brought to the outpatient department of our tertiary care hospital with swelling in the right foot, which was noticed since the day of birth. The swelling increased in size and had bled profusely a month earlier, which was managed with compression. On examination, a 7.2 × 7.8 cm, single non-pulsatile, well-defined reddish-purple lobulated mass was noted in the distal half of the right foot, involving the plantar side of the forefoot and mid-foot. There was a healed ulcer on the ventral aspect of the lesion. The third, fourth, and fifth toes were engulfed by the mass [Figure 1]. The mass had a variegated consistency, firm in some areas and hard in the rest. Blood investigations including hemoglobin and platelet count, yielded normal results.
