Overview

Clinically, the disease is commonly characterized as painless, progressive ulcerative lesions without regional lymphadenopathy.

Physical Examination

Clinically, the disease is commonly characterized as painless, progressive ulcerative lesions without regional lymphadenopathy. The lesions are highly vascular (i.e., beefy red appearance) and bleed easily on contact. However, the clinical presentation also can include hypertrophic, necrotic, or sclerotic variants.

Typical lesion characteristics include:

  • Beefy red color
  • Nontender
  • Emit rank odor
  • Elevated above skin
  • Smooth, rolled edge
  • Serpiginous outline[1]

Four variants can be further classified according to their clinical presentation:[2]

Type Clinical Appearance
Ulcerogrnulomatous beefy red, non-tender, bleeds easily
Hypertrophic or Verrucous irregular edge, dry
Necrotic foul smelling, deep, tissue destruction
Sclerotic dry, cicatricial, fibrous scar tissue
