He was referred to our clinic, where color Doppler sonography showed arterial flow in the left great saphenous vein, and Computed tomographic (CT) angiography revealed left superficial femoral artery fistula to the femoral vein. The patient had a history of shotgun injury six years ago. Surgical closure of the fistula was done. The ulcer healed completely one month after the surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion and conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>TAVF may present as skin lesions or ulcers.
