Abstract
Venous ulcer is a common manifestations of untreated chronic venous insufficiency affecting only about 5% of those with the condition.1 Many at times venous ulcers are easy to identify, and to start the appropriate treatment. However, in post skin graft patients where the depth of primary injury is unknown and the assessment of superficial veins is not always possible clinically, the diagnosis of venous ulcer may be delayed. We present one such case in our institute where the venous ulcer was initially treated as an unstable scar with ulceration.
