摘要：
Indolent leg ulcers are a rare complication found in patients with hereditary spherocytosis. We report a 13-year-old girl with hereditary spherocytosis who developed a chronic painful ulcer on the medial malleolus. All other etiologies were ruled out. Nine months after splenectomy the ulcer healed completely and the symptoms disappeared. We discuss and review this unusual entity in children.
