Clavus and callus

Clavus and callus

Clavi (corns) are extremely common painful keratotic lesions that develop on the dorsal or lateral aspect of the toes, often as a consequence of ill-fitting shoes. Histologically, they are characterized by a deep keratin-filled depression often associated with atrophy of the underlying epidermis (Fig. 3.137). The granular layer is often lost and parakeratosis is observed. A clavus can be distinguished from plantar warts by the absence of koilocytes and irregular keratohyalin granules.

A callus is a nonpainful localized focus of hyperkeratosis usually arising on the ball of the foot or heel from pressure or foot deformity.1 Palmar lesions arise as a consequence of chronic rubbing. Extensive use of a computer mouse may lead to a โ€˜mousing callusโ€™.2 Histologically, a callus is similar to a clavus consisting of a keratin-filled epidermal dell with hypergranulosis.
