Use of the inverted “T” incision to approach a plantar nodular lesion* * Study conducted at the Hospital Federal de Bonsucesso – Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Brazil.

Knowledge of the inverted "T" incision - used in plastic, oncologic and orthopedic surgery - has allowed its adaptation for the diagnostic assessment and therapeutical approach of acral, nodular lesions. The authors describe the use of this technique for the surgical approach of a patient with a plantar nodular lesion, further diagnosed as a calcified angioleiomyoma.
