Abstract

The answer to this question will impact on biopsy site since multiple ulcers may favor an infectious or inflammatory cause. In addition, multiple sites may mean that the ulcers are of various ages. While well-developed features are often the most helpful, it is sometimes useful to seek the most recent ulcer if evidence of active vasculitis, thrombi, or infection is sought.
