Introduction
Necrobiosis lipoidica is an infrequent chronic cutaneous disease usually associated with diabetes mellitus. It usually presents as yellowish-brown plaques with atrophic centers, mainly on the shins. Its exact cause is not known. Inflammation, collagen degeneration, and fat deposition in the skin are all involved.
Complications of Necrobiosis Lipoidica
- Ulceration – The lesions can be ulcerative and painful in some.
- Infection – Open wounds can become infected.
- Scarring – The healed lesions can lead to scars.
- Cosmetic issues – The lesions can be visible and cause emotional distress.
- Delayed wound healing – Circulation problems will aggravate the healing process in diabetic patients.
Clinical Features
Appearance: Lesions typically begin as small, red or brownish papules or plaques, which gradually enlarge and develop a yellowish-brown center with an atrophic, shiny surface.
Location: Most commonly affects the pretibial areas (shins).
Symptoms: Often asymptomatic but can cause pain, itching, or ulceration.
Pathogenesis
The exact cause is unclear, but it is thought to involve:

Complications in Necrobiosis lipoidica
- Ulceration: Affects approximately 30% of patients and can lead to secondary infections.
- Scarring: Post-ulcerative lesions may leave prominent scars.
- Infection: Chronic ulcers may predispose to bacterial or fungal infections.
- Cosmetic concerns: Significant psychological distress due to the appearance of lesions.
- Malignant transformation: Rare, but long standing ulcerated lesions may have a risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma.
