Figure 1 Clinical progression of the left breast lesion. (A) Initial presentation of the nonhealing left superior breast ulcer, measuring approximately 1.0 × 3.0 cm at the time of initial wound clinic evaluation. (B) Interval enlargement following serial debridement, with the lesion increasing to approximately 4.5 × 3.5 cm. (C) Peak lesion size prior to initiation of immunosuppressive therapy, measuring approximately 10.0 × 10.5 cm. (D) Complete resolution after initiation of immunosuppressive therapy. Images were obtained during routine clinical care; therefore, acquisition distance, angle, lighting, and scale were not fully standardized.
