Abstract

Introduction: Foot disorders such as ulceration, infection, and gangrene are the leading causes of hospitalization in patients with diabetes mellitus. Approximately 15 to 20 percent of the estimated 16 million persons with diabetes mellitus will be hospitalized with a foot complication at some time during the course of their disease. Unfortunately, many of these patients will require amputation within the foot or above the ankle as a consequence of severe infection or peripheral ischemia. Neuropathy is often a predisposing factor to ulceration and amputation. Case Summary: A 45-year-old male patient presented with multiple ulcers on the posterior aspect of the thigh.
