Abstract
Bureau-Barrière syndrome can affect various organ systems. It is defined by the triad: painless ulcers at mechanically irritated and hyperkeratotic plantar areas of the feet, sensitive polyneuropathy of the lower legs and osteolysis in the forefoot area. The condition mainly affects middle-aged men suffering from alcoholism, liver disease, obesity or metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus. Successful treatment of the Bureau-Barrière syndrome requires an interdisciplinary approach.
