Key result
Revascularisation resulted in complete resolution of multiple chronic umbilical and perianal cutaneous ulcers caused by aortoiliac occlusive disease.
Why the study?
Aortoiliac occlusive disease rarely manifests as multiple chronic cutaneous ulcers at atypical sites such as the umbilicus and perianal region, and recognizing this presentation may facilitate earlier diagnosis and treatment.

Recognition of atypical umbilical and perianal cutaneous ulceration as a manifestation of aortoiliac occlusive disease may facilitate earlier CT angiographic diagnosis and successful revascularisation.
This case describes an unusual presentation of aortoiliac occlusive disease manifesting as multiple chronic cutaneous ulcers at atypical sites, including the umbilicus and perianal region. The diagnosis was confirmed by CT angiography after non-specific histological findings, and complete resolution of the ulcers occurred following revascularisation. Recognition of this rare cutaneous presentation may facilitate earlier diagnosis and treatment of underlying vascular disease.

Gore et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Aortoiliac occlusive disease manifesting as chronic cutaneous ulcers at atypical sites (umbilicus and perianal region) (n=1). Revascularisation was evaluated on Resolution of cutaneous ulcers. Revascularisation resulted in complete resolution of multiple chronic umbilical and perianal cutaneous ulcers caused by aortoiliac occlusive disease.
