| description | Warfarin-induced skin necrosis is a rare complication of warfarin therapy and is associated with high mortality. Here, we present a case of warfarin-induced skin necrosis, that was fatal in a 53-year-old female patient who was started on warfarin treatment 5.5 years ago due to atrial fibrillation and previous mitral valve surgery. Patients using warfarin should be evaluated for warfarin-induced skin necrosis when they present with skin lesions. Early diagnosis, early discontinuation of the drug, early initiation of supportive treatment can be life-saving. |
