Decubital ischemic fasciitis presenting in an unusual location.

Decubital ischemic fasciitis, also called atypical decubital fibroplasia, is a distinctive fibroplasia occurring in nonambulatory older patients who are confined to bed or wheelchair-bound. These lesions are seen in the subcutaneous plane at pressure points or bony prominences. We present a case of ischemic fasciitis in a 68-year-old male patient who presented with a hard swelling in the middle third of the posterolateral aspect of the right leg, which is an unusual site for ischemic fasciitis.
