Skin necrosis: An uncommon side effect of warfarin therapy
Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2019, Vol 58, Issue 2
Abstract
Warfarin is commonly used in the treatment and prevention of thromboembolic events. However, it is known to undesirably cause hypercoagulable conditions, including warfarin-induced skin necrosis (WISN). This report describes a 70-year-old man presented with an extensive WISN while an inpatient for treatment of a left deep femoral vein thrombosis. He had a background of colon adenocarcinoma and multiple metastatic foci in the liver.
