Description
Megan Koch and co-authors tell in 2026 of a rare skin vessel cancer that hid as a chronic leg ulcer in swollen tissue. Such cancers grow fast and can mimic plain ulcers, which delays finds. Long-term swelling of the leg sets the scene in this case.
A seventy four-year-old woman had a leg ulcer first treated as infection and vein trouble. When plain care failed, a tissue sample revealed the cancer. Surgery plus radiation kept her disease free for over four years before return and death. The case urges early biopsy of ulcers that refuse to heal.
