A 40-year-old female house help residing in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, presented with a rough, elevated lesion on her right sole that had persisted for 10 years, following a penetrating thorn prick injury. The lesion slowly evolved from a small, asymptomatic papule on the insole into a well-defined plaque extending across the instep of the right sole. Cutaneous examination revealed a well-defined, solitary, hyperpigmented, verrucous plaque with peripheral crypts and central clearing over the right plantar arch, approximately measuring 5×10 cm [Table/Fig-1]. Additionally, palpable, firm, non matted, and tender right superficial inguinal nodes were noted.
