A case of heparin-induced cutaneous necrosis resembling necrotizing fasciitis occurred in a post-cesarean section patient. She presented with massive necrosis of the skin and abdominal pannus on the sixth postoperative day after a cesarean section for severe preeclampsia and failed induction. A biopsy showed findings characteristic of heparin-induced cutaneous necrosis, permitting conservative therapy.
