A 64-year-old man went to the emergency department of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston with a painful festering ulcer spreading on his left, very swollen ankle.
The open sore was about 8 by 5 centimeters ( about 3 by 2 inches ) and was rimmed by black, ashen, and dark purple tissue.
Inside, it oozed with streaks and fringes of yellow pus around pink and red inflamed flesh.
