[Wound care management of ulceration in a palliative care patient].

The wound care management of a palliative care patient with sinusitis pinoidalis is documented. The treatment is validated by the expert's opinion. There is only little evidence-based treatment of such a lesion. In our experience, photo documentation is helpful in decision-making during the treatment process. In addition, healing of larger defects seems to improve upon frequent and extensive liquid cleansing.
