Abstract
A 58-year-old man presented with a slowly growing painless mass at the anterolateral aspect of his left lower leg. His past history included a severe neuro - vascular damage of the left lower leg, due to an accidental dynamite explosion 34 years previously. During surgery following the accident, he developed compartmental ischemia of the left lower leg. Additionally, the involved leg became paralysed and atrophic and he suffered from neuralgic pain and numbness.
