Abstract
Lipodermatosclerosis: A Commonly Misdiagnosed Complication of Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Highlights
Lipodermatosclerosis is a complication of severe chronic venous insufficiency that results from high venous pressure and resulting increased capillary permeability, perivascular fibrin cuffing, and tissue hypoxia
These events culminate in fibrosis and membranous fat necrosis[1]
Lipodermatosclerosis can present as painful, red, indurated plaques that may be misdiagnosed as cellulitis, thrombophlebitis, and morphea[2]
