A Case of Isolated Plantar Digital Vein Thrombosis / 대한피부과학회지

Plantar vein thrombosis is a rare condition, which can cause foot pain when walking. The cause of thrombosis is not clear. We experienced a case of plantar digital vein thrombosis which occurred in the left big toe. The patient was a 35-year-old man who presented with foot pain when during walking since one month ago. There was a solitary skin colored nodule on the left big toe. Skin punch biopsy was performed, and the diagnosis of plantar digital vein thrombosis was made. Plantar digital vein thrombosis is a very rare cause of toe pain. We herein report this interesting case.

Palmar Digital Vein Thrombosis / 대한피부과학회지

Palmar digital vein thrombosis causing one or more nodules seems to be a relatively rare condition. Only 20 cases of palmar digital vein thrombosis have been reported worldwide in the English language literature. It presents with a painful, firm and blue nodule located at or in close proximity to one of the flexion creases. The etiology remains unknown, but changes in the vessel wall related to the anatomic characteristics of the palmar digital veins may play a role, along with intraluminal stasis. Two patients with blue nodule located in close proximity to flexion creases on the volar side of the finger presented to our hospital. Histological examination showed organizing thrombus within the dilated vessel. We report here on these two cases of palmar digital vein thrombosis.
