Abstract
This is a case report of a patient who presented to the wound care center with LE ulcerations that were subsequently diagnosed with calciphylaxis. She was an insulin dependent diabetic with renal disease, but unaware of her critical kidney status. She was treated with local wound care, a partial parathyroidectomy, and started on dialysis. She is currently healed with no recurrence of ulcerations. Her ulcerations were controlled with conservative wound care and no surgical debridement.
