Abstract

Calciphylaxis is characterized by extremely painful skin ulcers and develops in patients with or without severe kidney diseases. Herein, a female patient without renal dysfunction developed calciphylaxis in the right lower extremity and underwent successful surgical debridement and split-thickness skin grafting. Nevertheless, prompt wound evaluation and proper surgical approaches are essential.
