convalescentphase, patientswith Charcotarthropathymay actuallynotedecreased swelling and warmth, although damage that has already occurred does not reverse itself, and can progress with continued weight-bearing activities. In the third reconstructive phase, healing begins,withfracturedbonesanddeformedjointsbecomingsomewhatmorestable.Residual instability may persist, however, and deformities of the foot that developed in the earlier

Tests
Radiographyisusefulforassessingthebonydestructionandpotentialjointcompromiseseen with Charcot arthropathy. Plain films can also be used to stage disease and to monitor progression(Fig.19-5).
Bonescansmay helpdifferentiateneuropathic jointarthropathyfrom osteomyelitis;MRI imaging can provide greater anatomic detail and may also help differentiate Charcot arthropathyfromosteomyelitis.
LaboratorytestshavelimitedutilityinevaluatingCharcotarthropathy,althoughnonspecific markers of inflammation such as a complete blood count with differential, an erythrocyte sedimentationrate,oraC-reactiveproteinmayindicatethatinfectionismorelikelythanpure inflammationwhenelevated.Severalothertestsmayhelpconfirmorexcludethepresenceof diabetes, including glucose levels and glycosylated hemoglobin, as many other causes of neuropathicjointdiseaseareknown.Inmostcases,diabeticswhodevelopCharcotarthropathy
havehadperipheralneuropathyfor10to15years.

TreatmentsandTherapies
TheearlytreatmentofCharcotarthropathyaffectingthelowerextremitiesisaimedatarresting progression of bony destruction and deformity. Serial contact casting using heavily padded plasterorothercastingmaterialsmaycontrolswelling,andlimitprogressivedamage.Custom­madewalkingbootsmayserveasimilarpurpose.Limitedweight-bearingmayalsoplayarole in restricting damage. Bisphosphonate therapy and calcitonin are currently debated as
potentiallyusefuladjunctsinthemedicaltreatmentofCharcotarthropathy.
29
Surgicaltreatmentmayberequiredtostabilizeunstablejointsortorepairfracturedbones. Amputation may be considered in cases where the feet are too damaged to allow weight­bearing,inwhichcaseprostheticdevicesmaybeutilized.Patientsshouldalsobeeducatedon how to protect the unaffectedor lesser affected foot as itis more heavily loaded when the affectedfootismadenonweight-bearing.

Several systemic diseases may manifest wholly, or in part, with lower extremity findings. Recognitionofthesignsandsymptomsinvolvingthelowerextremitiesthatportend systemic illnessesoftenrequiresahighindexofsuspicion.Treatingtheprimarydiseaseprocessesthat underlie the manifestations affecting the lower extremities is often necessary in order to adequatelyaddress thesymptomatology that prompted a given patient toseekcare. In those caseswherepatientsareunawareofayetundiagnosedsystemicillness,educationisnecessary toensurethatthepatientappreciateshowmanagementoftheprimarydiseasecanimprovethe overall outcome. Providing appropriate care beyond the initial presentation for acute symptomatologytypicallyinvolvesaconcertedeffortonthepartofmanyproviders,aswellas collaborationfromthepatientreceivingcare,tomaximizetheoveralloutcome.

BACKGROUND
Anoftenoverlookedcauseoflowerextremityulcersisdiseasesofthehematopoieticsystem. Althoughulcersduetohematologicdiseasesarenotascommonasthoseduetovenous and arterialdisorders,podiatricphysiciansstillneedtoincludesuchconditionsintheirdifferential diagnosis. Ulcers of the foot and ankle secondary to blood dyscrasias may become more commonasaresultofmodernmedicine’sabilitytokeeppatientsalivelongenoughtobecome victimsofchronicdiseases.Also, manypharmaceuticalagentshaveamongtheirsideeffects the ability to produce hematologic complications. The physician should not overlook hematologic disorders as being among the etiologic agents responsible for foot and ankle ulcers. Some ofthe conditionsin whichfootulcersmayoccurassociated with hematologic disordersarediscussed.
SEVERITYOFFOOTANDLEGULCERS
Manyseverityindicesforfootandlegulcersarebasedonsize,depth,andduration.Staging basedondepthisasfollows:
Stage1:Nonblanchableerythemaofintactskin,theheraldinglesionofskinulceration.In individuals with darker skin, discoloration of the skin, warmth, edema, induration, or hardnessmayalsobeindicators.
Stage2:Partial-thickness skin lossinvolving epidermis,dermis, or both. Theulceris superficialandpresentsclinicallyasanabrasion,blister,orshallowcrater.
Stage3:Full-thicknessskinlossinvolvingdamagetoornecrosisofsubcutaneoustissue thatmayextenddownto,butnotthrough,underlyingfascia.Theulcerpresentsclinically asadeepcraterwithorwithoutunderminingofadjacenttissue.
Stage4:Full-thicknessskinlosswithextensivedestruction,tissuenecrosis,ordamageto muscle,bone,orsupportingstructures(e.g.,tendon,jointcapsule).Underminingandsinus tractsalsomaybepresent.

SICKLECELLANEMIA
Sicklecellanemiaisanexampleofahematologicdiseasethatmaycauseulcersaffectingthe lower extremities. TheU.S. Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) reported that
about 25% ofpatients with the disease over age 10 years hadahistoryof legulcers.1 The diseaseaffects50,000to100,000peopleintheUnitedStates.2Itsgeographicaldistributionis
variable, affecting 75% of patients in Jamaica but only 8% to 10% of North American patients.
3–5
Ulcersduetosicklecellanemiaarelesscommoninpatientswithα-genedeletion, hightotalhemoglobinlevel,orhighlevelsofhemoglobinF.Thepathogenesisofchroniculcers inSCDiscomplex.Mechanicalobstructionbydensesickledredcells,venousincompetence, bacterialinfections,abnormalautonomiccontrolwithexcessivevasoconstrictionwheninthe dependentposition,insituthrombosis,anemiawithdecreaseinoxygencarryingcapacity,and decreasednitricoxide(NO)bioavailabilityleadingtoimpairedendothelialfunctionhaveall
beenproposed as potential contributing factors.
6,7
 Patients havea markedreductionofNO, whichisanimportantregulatorofvasculartone,celladhesion,andbloodflow.Thisresultsin thedevelopmentofavasculopathyskewingthenormalbalancebetweenvasoconstrictionand vasodilatation in favor of vasoconstriction. As a result, there is NO deficiency leading to
tissueischemiaandulcerformation.8Ulcersarepainfulandoftendisablingcomplicationsof SCD,mayaffect5% to10% of adultpatients, andmaynecessitateopioids. Those thatare acute usually heal within a month, butthose that are chronic may take 6 months.The SCD ulcersaremorecommoninmalesandincreasewithage.Ulcersinsicklecellanemiatypically occur in areas withthinskin and less subcutaneous fat, typically at the medial and lateral malleoli. However, sometimes the dorsum of the foot is affected as is the region over the Achillestendon.Theseulcersappearroundandpunched-outwithraisedmargins,deepbases and necrotic slough varying in size from a few millimeters to large circumferential areas coveringtheentiredistallowerextremity.Thelesionisusuallyprecipitatedbyminortrauma
and spreads in size gradually.
9,10
 Sickle cell anemia ulcers frequently are colonized with Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and group A Streptococci. Typically patientswiththeseulcersdevelopwoundinfectionswhichmaybelocalizedsuper-infections
orrecurrentcellulitisthathealslowlywithresidualhyperpigmentationandchronicscarring.
1
Healing of this difficulttotreatcondition is reported as being 20times slower thanin
similar types ofrefractoryvascular lesionsandis oftenrecurrent.11Preventionincludes the reduction of trauma with properly fitted shoes and compression stockings supported by applicationofemollientsalongwithproperhygiene.Whentheulcersoccurmoist,supportive dressing are indicated, but when they drain, absorbent dressing could be used. Topical antibioticssuchasneomycin,polymyxinB,orbacitracincanbeusedifsuperinfectionoccurs. Whenthereisnecrotictissue,debridementisindicated.Therearereportsthatoralzincsulfate
accelerateshealing.
12,13
TheonlyFoodandDrugAdministration–approvedtreatmentofsickle cellanemia–causedulcersinadultsishydroxyurea,acytotoxic,cytostaticdrugalsousedfor thepreventionoftheulcers.Treatmentwithhydroxyureastartswithaninitialdoseof15mg
per kg (10 to 20 mg per kg) once a day.14 The dose may be increased in 5 mg/kg/day incrementsevery12weekstoamaximumdoseof35mg/kg/day.However,otherssuggestthat
https://t.me/medicina_free
hydroxyurea does not cause, prevent, or speed healing in SCD. Surgical intervention for recalcitrant ulcers using split-thickness skingrafting andmyocutaneous flaps to bringblood supplytotheareaofulcerationhasbeenused,butresultsareinconsistent.
ACUTELEUKEMIA
Inleukemia,specificornonspecificlesionsoftheskinmayoccur.Specificlesions(leukemia cutis)containleukemiacells,whichdirectlyinfiltratetheepidermis,dermis,orsubcutaneous fat.Nonspecificlesions,whicharemorecommon,areconsideredacutaneousreactiontothe ongoingmalignancyprocess.
Therehavebeenreportsoffootulcersdevelopinginchildrenwithnewlydiagnosedacute mixed lineage leukemia during induction chemotherapy. These ulcers may have a clinical resemblance to pyoderma gangrenosum,buton histopathologic examination, herpes simplex virusinfectionmaybediagnosed. Treatment withoral acycloviris ineffective,butthe ulcer healedwithintravenous acyclovirfollowed byoral valacyclovir.Viral infectionremainsan unusual but important cause of isolated extragenital cutaneous ulceration in the
immunocompromisedchild.
15
SPECIFICLESIONSINLEUKEMIACUTIS
Leukemia cutis includes granulocytic sarcoma, chloroma, and myeloblastoma, representing localizedordisseminatedskininfiltrationbyblastcells.Leukemiacutisis usuallyasign of relapseordissemination ofmedullarydisease.Itisuncommonbutismostlyfoundinpeople older than 50 years. Most often, it is associated with acute monocytic leukemia and acute myelomonocyticleukemia.Itcanbeobservedinanyacuteorchronicleukemia,includingthe leukemicphaseofnon-Hodgkinlymphomaandhairycellleukemia.Skinpain,tenderness,and pruritusareusuallyabsent,andmostcommonly,lesionsarediscrete,firm,violaceousorred­brownpapules,nodules,orplaques.Onoccasion,ulcerativelesionsareobserved.
Thedifferentialdiagnosesincludebacterial,viral,andfungaldermatoses;drugeruptions; leukocytoclastic vasculitides; Sweetsyndrome; and pyoderma gangrenosum. Leukemia cutis may occur simultaneously with or before the medullary disease. Leukemia cutis typically develops late inthe course ofestablished acuteleukemia. Incontrast, when it develops in associationwith chronic myelogenous leukemia or other myeloproliferative disorders, it is usuallyasignofimpendingblastictransformation.Earlycutaneousinvolvementoccursmore frequently in acute myelomonocytic leukemia and monocytic leukemia. In addition, it is stronglyassociatedwithextramedullaryinvolvementofothersites,includingthemeninges.
Histopathologically, leukemia cutis includes a diffuse and infiltrative population of mononuclearcellsaccompaniedbygranulocyticcellsatvariousstagesofmaturationtypically includingeosinophilicmyelocytes.Criteriafordiagnosingleukemiacutisonskinbiopsyare: chloroacetate esterase activity and Leu-M1 positivity; and the presence of lysozyme, α1-
antitrypsin, and α1-antichymotrypsin serve as supportive findings, with lysozyme being the mostconsistentpositivemarker.
https://t.me/medicina_free
The prognosis for leukemia cutis is related directly to the prognosis for the systemic disease.
16
THALASSEMIAMAJORANDMINOR
Footulcersduetothalassemiaminorarerare,buttherehavebeencasesreported.A31-year­old Greek womanwith thalassemia minor developed multiple painful ulcers on the ankles, toes,anddorsaofbothfeet,whichwerewelldefinedandmeasured2to10mmindiameter. Alsoobservedwerepunctatepetechialhemorrhages.Anacutevasculitisofthecapillariesand fibrinoid necrosis of the vessel walls were observed microscopically with petechial hemorrhages and a lymphocytic infiltration in the surrounding connective tissue. No abnormalitieswereseenwithlymphangiography,phlebography,andarteriographyofthelower limbs. Although also rare, thalassemia major (Cooley anemia) ulcers have been reported. Patientswiththalassemiamajorusuallyhavehemoglobinlevelsof9gorless,andulcersthat formareprobablyduetolackofoxygenasaresultoflowhemoglobinA.Theseulcers,like thalassemia minor, are usually found around the ankles unilaterally or bilaterally. Also a possiblecauseoflegulcersis thalassemiaintermedia, whichoccursinpatientswithpoorly controlledoruntreateddisease.Thismaybeduetopooroxygendeliverybecauseofthehigh
oxygenaffinityofhemoglobinFthatmaybemorethan50%ofthepatient’stotalhemoglobin.
17
THROMBOCYTHEMIAANDTHROMBOCYTOSIS
Inthrombocythemia,bloodclotsmaydevelopinthefeetaswellasthebrainandhands,less commonly,inotherpartsofthebodysuchastheheartandintestines.Whentheyaffectthefeet, theremaybetingling.
Thesignsandsymptomsofa highplateletcountarelinkedtobleedingandblood clots.

CRYOGLOBULINEMIA
Initially described by Wintrobe and Buell in 1933, cryoglobulins (CGs) were found in a patient withmultiple myeloma.PatientswithCGs are classifiedintothreetypes.TypeIare monoclonal, composed of immunoglobulin (Ig)M, IgG, IgA, and Bence Jones proteins in decreasingorderoffrequency.TheserumlevelofmonoclonalCGsistypicallyhigh,andthey precipitateeasilyatcoldtemperatures.TypeIICGsaremixedCGscomposedofcomplexesof polyclonal IgG and monoclonal IgM rheumatoid factor.Type III CGs are mixed polyclonal CGs,mostcommonlycomposedofIgMandIgGandareusuallypresentatverylowlevelsin the serum.Type Icryoglobulinemiais associated withmultiple myeloma, other hematologic proliferativedisorders,rheumatoidarthritis,andautoimmunehemolyticanemia.TypeIIandIII

cryoglobulinemias are associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or lymphoma. Autoimmunediseases,suchasSjögrensyndromeandrheumatoidarthritis,arefoundinpatients with type II cryoglobulinemia. Type III cryoglobulinemia is seen in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), periarteritis nodosa, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, and hematologic proliferative disorders. Infections, including hepatitis B, mononucleosis, cytomegalovirus,subacutebacterialendocarditis,andtoxoplasmosis,canbefoundinpatients withcryoglobulinemias.Thetermessentialcryoglobulinemiadescribescryoglobulinemiawith no clinical signs of underlying disease. Cryoglobulinemia was initially noted to occur predominantlyinpatientswithmyeloma,butitisnowbeingdetectedinagrowingnumberof infectious, collagen-vascular, and lymphoproliferative disorders. The major cause of cryoglobulinemiaisnowconsideredtobehepatitisCvirus(HCV).Cutaneousmanifestations are themost typical clinical sign of cryoglobulinemic vasculitis. They range from palpable purpura of the lower limbs to chronic torpid cutaneous ulcers typically located in the supramalleolarregions.Thecutaneousinvolvementisoftencomplicatedbytheoccurrenceof chroniclegulcerswithlittleornotendencytohealandwhichspontaneouslycausepainand severediscomforttothepatient.AcaseofHCV-positivetypeIcryoglobulinemiawithsevere legulcersandnotresponsivetoantiviralandimmunosuppressivetreatmentisdescribed.This was followed by double filtration plasmapheresis for 6 months, with no other associated treatment. Before and after each session, an assessment of immunoglobulins, complement, cryocrit, and fibrinogen was made. HCV RNA levels were determined in serum cryoprecipitate,inthesupernatantbeforeandaftereachsession,andinthecollectionbag.No differencesinpre- andpostapheresis valueswereobservedintheserum concentrationsand the supernatant. However, the postapheresis cryoprecipitate showed a significantly reduced viralload(P<0.02)ascomparedwiththepreapheresisvalues.Improvementintheulcersin thelegoccurredduringapheresiswithcompleteregressionbytheendofthecycle.Skinbiopsy specimens from patients with primary mixed IgM–IgG cryoglobulinemia were examined by immunofluorescence,light,andelectronmicroscopy.Thebiopsiestakenfromtheinvolvedskin of one patient with leg ulcers revealed small blood vessel occlusions by CG aggregates. Because asimilarfinding wasnotobserved inthebiopsymaterialtakenfromtheother five patientswhohadnoulcerativeskinlesions,itseemsthattheCGaggregatesplayaroleinthe

MYELOPROLIFERATIVEDISORDERS
Asaresultofimpairmentofthecutaneousmicrocirculation, hemorrheology,orthe effectof hydroxyurea, ulcerations of the leg may occur in myeloproliferative disorders. The use of hydroxyurea mayhaveasasideeffectthepresentationofsuchlegulcers.Infact,theuseof hydroxyurea in legulcers mayresultin a wound size increase. Ifthe legulcers are dueto hydroxyurea and the drug is stopped, typically healing occurs. Anoption is touse another cytotoxic agent if one is available, but it too may result in a leg ulcer. The differential diagnosis of myeloproliferative disease is vasculitis, cryoglobulinemeia, and pyoderma gangrenosum.

ANTIPHOSPHOLIPIDSYNDROME
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an acquired, multisystemic disorder characterized by recurrentthrombosesinthearterialsystem,venoussystem,orboth.APSisclassifiedintotwo groups:primaryandsecondary.
SecondaryAPSisoftenassociatedwithSLEandinfrequentlywithotherdiseases,suchas lymphoproliferativedisorders,autoimmunediseases,infections(e.g.,syphilis,HIV,HCV),and drugs (e.g., procainamide, quinidine, hydralazine, phenytoin, chlorpromazine). Serologic markers for APSare antiphospholipid antibodies (β2-glycoprotein I or anticardiolipins) or
lupusanticoagulant.
Theprimarydiagnosticcriteriaincludearterial thrombosis, venous thrombosis, recurrent fetalloss,andthrombocytopenia.Oneofthelistedprimarycriteriaisrequiredfordiagnosis, combinedwithasustainedelevatedtiterofIgGanticardiolipinorlupusanticoagulant,which canbedetectedbasedontheprolongedactivatedpartialthromboplastintime,Kaolinclotting time,ordiluteRussellVipervenomtime.
A large retrospective study from the Mayo Clinic of patients with lupus anticoagulant included41%whohadskinlesionsasthefirstsignofAPS.Cutaneousmanifestationsinclude livedo reticularis, necrotizing vasculitis, livedo vasculitis, thrombophlebitis, cutaneous ulcerationandnecrosis,erythematousmacules,purpura,ecchymosis,painfulskinnodules,and
