Resumo

Warfarin-induced skin necrosis is an unusual complication of anticoagulation therapy associated with high morbidity. A patient is presented who had protein C deficiency and in whom this complication developed twice within a short time as a result of delayed diagnosis. Early recognition of this syndrome has important implications in the treatment of such patients and may reduce the severity of complications.
