ABSTRACT
Chronic dermatological problems associated with lower limb amputation sites include local maceration, intertrigo, blistering and ulceration, contact dermatitis, tissue atrophy, verrucous hyperplasia, lichenification, callosities, epidermoid cyst formation, and malignant neoplasia. A 60 year-old male was presented with a verrucous oozing eruption of the amputation stump of the left leg. He had been involved in a railroad logging accident 30 years before, resulting in the loss of the left lower limb. He were a below-knee prosthesis (patellar-tendon hearing). We diagnosed him as verrucous hyperplasia by clinical and histological findings and then referred him to the division of rehabilitation for a refitting of his prosthesis, after which his eruption cleared two months later.
