Abstract: A 43-year-old man, living in a rural environment, with no significant past medical history or trauma, presented with painful papules and nodules of the right foot 3 years ago.These lesions had rapidly increased in size over the past year, despite previous surgical excision and empirical oral antibiotic therapy elsewhere.Examination revealed multiple erythematous and violaceous papules and nodules on the medial foot arch, without discharge or granules (Fig 1).Foot X-ray was normal, while MRI revealed multiple soft tissue microabscesses extending to muscles, without bone involvement (Fig 2).
