Abstract
Digital ulcers in systemic sclerosis are painful ischemic necrotic lesions of the acra. Optimal treatment consists of conventional wound management and medication: iloprost infusions promote primary healing of the ulcers, while the dual endothelin receptor antagonist bosentan is used for secondary prophylaxis of new ulcers. The described case illustrates the essential interdisciplinary collaboration for optimal management of these patients.Entities:
