Abstract

Plantar vein thrombosis is a rare condition, which can cause foot pain when walking. The cause of thrombosis is not clear. We experienced a case of plantar digital vein thrombosis which occurred in the left big toe. The patient was a 35-year-old man who presented with foot pain when during walking since one month ago. There was a solitary skin colored nodule on the left big toe. Skin punch biopsy was performed, and the diagnosis of plantar digital vein thrombosis was made. Plantar digital vein thrombosis is a very rare cause of toe pain. We herein report this interesting case.
