From a spark to a flame: the evolution of diabetic foot disease in the last two decades
No full textDespite many improvements have been achieved, diabetic foot disease (DFD) remains a clinical, social, and economic burden. In the last years, DFD showed an evolution of its characteristics with an increase of the ischaemic/neuro-ischaemic foot in comparison to the pure neuropathic foot. Simultaneously, there was and increased incidence of concomitant cardiovascular co-morbidities, which influences the higher fragility of patients with DFS. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in subjects with diabetic foot seems to show a more aggressive pattern, being more distal and difficult to treat. Untreatable PAD remains the unmet need for clinicians and the main risk factor of major amputation in patients with diabetic foot ulcers. Authors aimed to describe the evolution of diabetic foot patients in the last two decades, describing also the current and future treatment which may improve outcomes in the next generations

No full textA Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Diabetic Foot: Case Report
No full textA 72-year-old male was referred to our hospital for a plantar ulceration that had occurred many years earlier. The lesion, with exuberant granulation and large areas of necrosis and fibrin, had long been treated by plastic surgeons with no positive evolution. At admission in our hospital no ischemia was detected, and foot radiograph was negative for bone involvement. The patient underwent a foot magnetic resonance imaging, which showed high vascularization in the plantar region and early capture of the contrast medium. We then performed multiple biopsies of the ulceration that revealed a moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. The total body computed tomography exam raised a systemic involvement. A lymph node biopsy and immunohistochemistry assay on the pleural cytological sample proved the presence of a primary squamous cell carcinoma of the foot with systemic dissemination. Although rare, squamous cell carcinoma could be associated with chronic nonhealing ulcers; therefore, when a lesion does not heal, despite adequate standard treatment, its etiopathogenesis should be challenged
