Description

A 44-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus and diabetes mellitus had leg ulcers associated with large pockets underneath the surrounding skin.<BR>They had been treated with a variety of ointments for the past 6 months without satisfactory effects.<BR>Then, we performed patch grafting and negative pressure dressing. Grafted skins partially covered the surface and the size of pocket cavity was reduced. Next a catheter for the negative pressure treatment was inserted into the remaining pocket. This procedure induced a further improvement. Complete cure was obtained by additional topical treatments.<BR>Negative pressure dressing is a useful modality for the treatment of ulcers associated with large pocket cavity.
