title: Coumadin skin necrosis. Pedal manifestations.
abstract: The idiosyncratic dermatologic reaction to coumarin-like agents, most notably, Coumadin (warfarin sodium) has been well described in the world's literature. Although the incidence is reported to be less than 0.1% of patients treated with Coumadin, pedal cases tend to be striking and their treatment seemingly tenuous.
