Calciphylaxis is a rare condition characterised by painful necroses due to microvascular calcifications. It primarily affects individuals with end-stage renal disease and affected calcium-phosphate metabolism. This is a case report of a 55-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease who developed a necrotic ulcer at the breast due to calciphylaxis. Although treated with sodium thiosulfate and hyperbaric oxygen, the ulcer progressed and multiple necrotic calciphylaxis ulcers appeared. The treatment options and wound management are discussed while focusing on indications for surgical debridement.
