Seltene Differenzialdiagnosen beim Ulcus cruris venosum

Chronische Wunden stellen weltweit ein zunehmendes medizinisches und ökonomisches Problem dar. Die am häufigsten auftretenden chronischen Wunden manifestieren sich bei mehr als der Hälfte der Patient*innen als gefäßbedingte Ulzerationen. Die Ursachen für ein Ulcus cruris sind jedoch vielfältig. Insbesondere im dermatologischen Bereich werden häufig Patient*innen mit selteneren Ursachen für Unterschenkelulzerationen vorstellig. In diesem Artikel legen wir den Fokus auf seltene Differenzialdiagnosen des Ulcus cruris venosum (UCV).
