Vasculitic ulcers are caused by numerous disorders and may be chronic if not well treated. Various modalities of treatment, both medical and surgical, are available. We describe the case of a 63-year-old patient with a vasculitic ulcer treated with platelet-derived growth factors and noncultured autologous cell suspension collected by an innovative single-use device (ReCell).
