In an operative report:
"SURGICAL FINDINGS: There is a 1 cm diameter ulcer sinus track in the central part of the right forefoot. There is an ulceration of approximately 6 cm in diameter beneath the medial cuneiform. The forefoot is indurated and erythematous. There is kaylor."
And in a request for consultation, same patient, diabetic:
"There is erythema, induration, and kaylor to the right forefoot."
I can't figure what (sounds like) "kalor" is supposed to be. Please help! This is one of my final transcriptions for MT school. Thanks.

Try and listen to it again, if possible, and see if what the doctor is saying may be "eschar". It is dried scabbed skin.
Also, the correct spelling after sinus would be tract (not track).
Good Luck!
