Essential thrombocythemia was diagnosed based on peripheral blood platelet count and gen test findings. The improving of platelet count was obtained by oral hydroxyurea. Complex surgical treatment, including free-skin grafting, was performed with the excellent result. Two-year follow-up was retraced without any sign of ulcer recurrence.
