Abstract 1. Clin Dermatol. 2007 Jan-Feb;25(1):131-8. Inflammatory ulcers. Hoffman MD(1). Author information: (1)Department of Dermatology, Rush Medical College, Chicago, IL 60612, USA. mark_d_hoffman@rush.edu Skin ulcerations may develop as a manifestation of a variety of different diseases or may result from some nondisease phenomena. Inflammatory ulcers refer specifically to those ulcerations in which inflammation is the primary pathologic process resulting in lesion formation; that is, inflammation is the cause rather than the consequence of the ulcer. This review will consider several types of inflammatory ulcers that the clinician may encounter in his or her practice. DOI: 10.1016/j.clindermatol.2006.09.010 PMID: 17276210 [Indexed for MEDLINE]
