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 |
