Abstract
A 20-year-old man presented with a non-healing ulcer on the dorsum of the left foot that initially appeared after the patient fell and hit his left foot on the edge of a door. An ulcer had formed and grown in size over the past several weeks after repeated physical insults and despite home wound care, as seen in Figure 1. Additionally, the patient had a non-healing ulcer inferior to his left knee. He had a notable past medical history of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in remission after a haploidentical stem cell transplant, uncontrolled diabetes type 1, and graft-versus-host disease of the skin. Both wounds showed no signs of osteomyelitis or cellulitis on MRI.
