Title: Necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum - a case report
Abstract: Necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum is a very rare entity coexisting with diabetes. It is estimated that the prevalence of necrobiosis lipoidica is very low – it affects less than 1% of patients suffering from diabetes. Among patients with diagnosed necrobiosis lipoidica the percentage of those with diabetes is over 60%. This paper presents a case of a 16-year old girl with a 10-year history of insulin-dependent diabetes, in whom necrobiosis lipoidica was diagnosed.
