We describe the case of a young man who suffered from recurrent ulcerations on both legs since his early childhood as a result of two coagulation factor abnormalities: factor V gene mutation causing microthrombotic occlusions and subsequently ulcerations and an intermittent factor XIII deficiency responsible for retarded wound healing.
