[Angiologist's role].
A leg ulcer is mostly of vascular origin, complicating a venous, arterial or microcirculatory underlying pathology. Diagnosis of vascular origin is based on a simple clinical examination. This takes into account the aspect of the ulcer and the surrounding tissues, its localization and vascularization of the limb.
