Abstract:
Buerger's disease or thromboangiitis obliterans is a nonatherosclerotic inflammatory disease that affects the small and medium-sized arteries in the extremities. We describe a 46-year-old man with Buerger's disease, who achieved regression of acute ulceration of his lower limbs and remission of his disease with pentoxifylline. Usually thought to just improve pain-free walking distance, this is the first case that demonstrates pentoxifylline may in fact improve the acute cutaneous features and progression of Buerger's disease.
