Abstract EN
87 year old Caucasian female with chronic painless non-healing ulcers over malleoli was admitted to the hospital.
On a physical examination, there were two bilateral and laterally located malleoli ulcers with no discharge.
A thorough work up was done: lower extremities venous and arterial Doppler ultrasound did not show any evidence of venous and arterial disease respectively.
Heterozygous G20210A Prothrombin gene mutation was found, and the patient was started on anticoagulation.
This case reports highlights a possibility of a painless livedoid vasculopathy presentation in a patient without significant past thrombotic events.
Therefore, it is important to consider livedoid vasculopathy in the differential in a patient with painless ulcerative, atrophic and/or nodular skin lesions over the shins and malleoli.
