Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are lesions of the skin found in regions of venous hypertension. VLUs that fail to heal can become chronic, especially because of calcified deposits in the bed of the ulcer. The unclear mechanism behind the cause of calcification poses a challenge when approaching diagnosis and management. In the present report, we discuss the case of a 58-year-old woman who had presented with a chronic VLU that was resistant to healing despite numerous interventions. During a 3-year period, a multidisciplinary team was involved to provide medical and surgical care. Eventually, she was found to have dystrophic calcification of the VLU.
下肢静脉溃疡（VLUs）是在静脉高压区域发现的皮肤病变。未能愈合的下肢静脉溃疡可能会变成慢性溃疡，尤其是由于溃疡底部存在钙化沉积物。钙化原因背后的机制尚不清楚，这给诊断和治疗带来了挑战。在本报告中，我们讨论了一名58岁女性的病例，她患有慢性下肢静脉溃疡，尽管进行了多次干预，但仍难以愈合。在3年的时间里，一个多学科团队参与提供医疗和手术护理。最终，发现她的下肢静脉溃疡存在营养不良性钙化。
