Abstract
Skin problems from coagulation disorders have rarely been described in the dermatological literature. Here we report a patient with a complete congenital absence of fibrinogen which led to leg ulceration, necrosis of the toes and a life-threatening haemorrhage following skin biopsy. This patient shows that leg ulcers may have a complex aetiology and can reflect serious underlying disease.
