Stasis dermatitis is a cutaneous finding associated with chronic venous failure resulting in venous stasis. Arteriovenous fistula in the hand may cause a chronic venous stasis. We report a case of stasis dermatitis of the hand associated with an iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula. Stasis dermatitis should be considered as a potential complication of iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula.
