A 62-year-old Caucasian woman complained of a painful nodular lesion on her right heel that restricted her walking. She had noticed the onset of the itching after approximately 3 weeks of travel in Brazil. She was initially treated by her general practitioner with topical salicylic acid, suspecting a plantar wart. After a week of increased itching and unbearable pain, the patient was referred to our dermatological service. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
