Abstract:
We report the clinical and light microscopic features of a case of cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita with a painful refractory ulcer that was found on the back of a young Japanese man. The ulcer was positioned on the upper back over the spinal bone. In addition to the anatomical location of the ulcer, the vascular ectases may have played a part in the refractory ulceration.
