Abstract
We are to present a rare occurrence of large limb-threatening ulcer of the leg and foot in patient with thrombocytosis. Essential thrombocythemia was diagnosed based on peripheral blood platelet count and gen test findings. The improving of platelet count was obtained by oral hydroxyurea. Complex surgical treatment, including free-skin grafting, was performed with the excellent result. Two-year follow-up was retraced without any sign of ulcer recurrence.
