PY - 2015 T2 - Color Atlas and Synopsis of Vascular Diseases AB - A 40-year-old woman with a history of diabetes presents with red plaques on her shins (Figures 95-1 and 95-2). They are asymptomatic, though continue to increase in size. A biopsy was previously taken and revealed necrobiosis lipoidica. She had been working closely with her primary care physician to better control her glucose, but the lesions continued to progress. She has been applying topical corticosteroids with minimal improvement. This story demonstrates a typical case of necrobiosis lipoidica refractory to treatment in spite of well-controlled diabetes.
