Skin necrosis caused by heparins is a rare complication. We report a case of a 71-yr-old white woman who developed painful diffuse skin lesions, most probably related to enoxaparin treatment. Other causes of skin necrosis, including heparin induced thrombocytopenia, disseminated intravascular coagulation, protein C/protein S deficiencies, anti-phospholipid antibodies, and vitamin K deficiency were less likely in this case. The concomitant combined thrombophilia possibly aggravated the patient's clinical presentation.
