Chronic leg ulcers and Klinefelter's syndrome.
Venous and arterial leg ulcers have been reported in patients with Klinefelter's syndrome. We report a case of Klinefelter's syndrome associated with chronic leg and foot ulcers and thrombophlebitis. Both venous and arterial vascular disease seems to be associated with Klinefelter's syndrome and should be considered in men presenting with chronic leg and foot ulcers.
