FIGURE 1: Ulcerated lesion with necrosis and bone exposure. A 73-year-old male rural worker from the Brazilian Amazon region presented with a 4-year left facial ulceration, which became painful as it increased in size.

Skull computed tomography showed an osteolytic and infiltrative lesion in the malar and frontal regions (Figure 2).
