ABSTRACT
Diabetic foot wounds have a significant effect on the health-related quality of life of patients. As diabetic foot wounds are usually chronic and recurrent, it is possible that they can lead to skin malignancies. Several factors can make it difficult to make an early and accurate diagnosis of skin malignancies of the foot in patients with diabetes mellitus. Even though the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and diabetic foot wounds is increasing, currently there are no guidelines for the biopsy of diabetic foot wounds. We have evolved a criterion for the above based on six cases of diabetic foot wounds with concomitant skin malignancies. We recommend that clinicians should broadly consider implementing this criterion when managing patients with diabetic foot wounds.
