ABSTRACT
Frostbite is a particularly severe form of cold-induced injury that most frequently causes tissular damage in acral parts (hands and feet) and usually involves a small extension of the TBSA. Here, we present a rare case of frostbite affecting a large area (27%), which was successfully treated in a similar way to a thermal burn injury.

La presencia de nevus melanocíticos en pie resulta muy frecuente en la población caucásica, así como en la región subungueal en personas de raza negra. Por ello resulta importante para los profesionales involucrados saber diferenciar la benignidad o malignidad de la lesión, así como establecer las indicaciones quirúrgicas (AU)
