[Giant ulcers with rupture of the anterior tibial artery in a patient with calcinosis and hypercalcemia].
The authors report one case of giant varicose ulcer in a woman aged 85 years, who suffered from diffuse subcutaneous calcinosis, in which, after a period of shooting pain, spontaneous rupture of the anterior tibial artery occurred. Suture of this artery at the base of the ulcer did not hinder healing.
