Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin: chronically persistent, for several years existing, slowly progressing in size, weeping and bleeding for 12 months, rough, red, rough, crusty plaque on the right forearm of an 85-year-old patient. Before histological confirmation of the correct diagnosis, the disease was misdiagnosed as psoriasis and fungal disease by several practitioners due to the unusual localization.
Erysipelas: Sharply limited redness along the left back of the foot and the outer side of the foot with hemorrhagic, partly putrid blistering in a 74-year-old female patient.
Prurigo simplex subacuata: typicaldistribution pattern of the interval-like itchy, scratched, inflammatory papules and plaques; small atrophic scars are also visible.
Culicosis bullosa. unusually large blister formation after a mosquito bite on the lower leg of an 18-year-old woman. Typical is the "sudden" blister formation on otherwise unchanged skin.
Ulcus cruris mixtum. solitary, chronically dynamic, 2-year-old ulcer, strongly progressive for 6 weeks, 30 x 20 cm in size, sharply defined, yellow-red ulcer reaching down to the muscle fascia, with a smeary coating. strong foetor (gram-negative colonization). evidence of CVI and PAVK (permanent pain, with improvement when the legs are deeply embedded).
