case_images: Physical examination revealed a well-demarcated violescent ulceration with a stalactite appearance at the distal end of the index finger (Figure 1). The patient was treated with ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (at a dose of 1.5 g three times daily for 20 days), and her lesion showed substantial improvement (Supplementary Figure 1).
case_images: Biopsy of the lesion showed dense infiltration of multinuclear giant cells (red arrow), histiocytes (yellow arrow), and lymphocytes (blue arrow) in the dermis (hematoxylin and eosin stain, x400).
