NECROBIOSIS LIPOIDICA, SKIN DISEASESAbstract
This is a case of a female patient with necrobiosis lipoidica, an entity that belongs to the group of uncommon ulcerative cutaneous dermatosis of unknown cause, closely related to diabetes mellitus, with characteristic clinical manifestations and very difficult to be treated. Considering the results of physical examination and investigations, including biopsy, she was diagnosed with non-diabetic necrobiosis lipoidica. She was treated with pentoxifylline and ozone therapy, so her condition is improving.
