A 72-year-old man with a history of prostate cancer was seen with pain in the right leg and the left arm. He suffered from a clostridial myonecrosis. Physical examination showed typical findings of purple discoloration of the skin and hemorrhagic bullae. The patient eventually died because of septic shock.
