Tóm tắt

Necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum (NLD) is a relatively common manifestation of diabetes mellitus that is thought to be related to immune-complex vasculitis. The legs are the most common site for NLD, but other locations, such as the forearms or hands, have been reported. We describe a case of periorbital NLD that was diagnosed on the basis of histopathology.
