The floor of an ulcer consists of- 152 Ulceration and Fistula granulation tissue and corresponds to the abscess wall. An abscess arisesfrom molecular death within the tissues; an ulcer, from molecular death ofa free surface. An ulcer may increase in size by molecular death of adja-cent structures or by sloughing, that is to say, by death of visible masses oftissue. A wound healing by granulation is often wrongly called an ulcer must not be confounded with an excoriation. In an ulcer the coriumis always, and the subcutaneous tissue is generally, destroyed, and a scar
