Abstract
A 5-year-old female cat presented with a purple depressed lesion on a metatarsal pad inducing ulceration and pain. Histopathological results revealed a non-neoplastic vascular proliferation, a rare condition in cats. Topical beta-blocker successfully prevented recurrence of ulceration. This case highlights the emerging use of topical beta-blockers in both veterinary and human dermatology.
