    Abstract:
    A 55-year-old woman presented with an extensive warfarin-induced skin necrosis while an inpatient for treatment of a pulmonary embolism and thromboembolic stroke. She had a background of diabetes mellitus, hypertension and dyslipidaemia. Her warfarin was stopped and she was anticoagulated with low-molecular weight heparin. The wound was successfully treated with a combination of antibiotic, debridement and negative pressure wound therapy.
