title: [Angioproliferative processes in gangrenous limbs].
abstract: The results of the investigation of the limbs amputated because of the gangrene are presented. Soft tissues close to the gangrenous parts were examined, and in 26 of 100 samples examined angioproliferative processes with the formation of capillary foci were found. Proliferating capillaries grow into the surrounding tissues, including fibrous, muscular and adipose one. The process resembles somewhat neoplastic one: there is an infiltrative growth and mitotic activity. No similar alterations in the gangrenous tissue have been described so far.
