    <abstract locale="en_US">Warfarin induced skin necrosis is a rare complication associated with the use of oral &#x200E;anticoagulants. Most patients develop this complication at the initiation of therapy. The complication is &#x200E;usually associated with an underlying thrombophilia. Here we describe a case of a 75 year old &#x200E;patient who developed skin necrosis in her both breasts during warfarin treatment for a &#x200E;deep vein thrombosis. Thrombophilia screening demonstrated the presence of protein S and &#x200E;antithrombin III deficiency. The necrotic lesion was excised and defects eventually &#x200E;covered with skin flaps.</abstract>
