    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Medicine
    • Dermatology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Leg ulcers present a significant clinical challenge, often associated with underlying vascular pathologies.
    • Differential diagnosis of leg ulcers is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the diverse etiologies of ulcers in swollen legs.
    • To highlight the importance of cutaneous signs in diagnosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of conditions causing leg ulcers.
    • Analysis of clinical presentation and diagnostic indicators.

    Main Results:

    • Venous stasis is the most frequent cause of leg ulcers.
    • Other causes include lymphatic obstruction, vascular anomalies, and neoplasms (benign and malignant).

    Conclusions:

    • A broad range of conditions can lead to leg ulcers.
    • Thorough dermatological examination is key for accurate diagnosis and targeted therapy.
