Abstract：
BACKGROUND: AS is a malignant tumor that originates from vascular endothelial cells and is known for a high rate of local recurrence and metastasis.
METHODS: A 48-year-old male presented with cutaneous epithelioid AS. Cutaneous AS of the foot is quite rare, especially in the absence of predisposing factors, and in this patient it was previously misdiagnosed as a DFU.
CONCLUSIONS: Physicians should be aware of this rare presentation of cutaneous AS. The authors of the current report advise regular clinical reassessment of chronic ulcers and biopsies of nonhealing wounds, even when adequate wound treatment has been administered, with the goal of identifying ulcerated skin malignancies and preventing delay in providing appropriate treatment.

摘要：
背景：AS是一种起源于血管内皮细胞的恶性肿瘤，以高的局部复发率和转移率而闻名。
方法：一名48岁男性患者为皮肤上皮样AS。脚的皮肤AS非常罕见，特别是在没有诱发因素的情况下，在该患者中，先前被误诊为DFU。
结论：医生应该意识到皮肤AS的这种罕见表现。当前报告的作者建议定期临床重新评估慢性溃疡和不愈合伤口的活检，即使已经进行了充分的伤口治疗，目的是识别溃疡皮肤恶性肿瘤并防止延迟提供适当的治疗。
