Abstract
A 30-year-old man had suffered from persistent ulceration within an area of necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum for 13 months. The ulcerating necrobiosis lipoidica was resistant to topical therapy and oral therapy with acetylsalicylic acid. However, the ulcers healed completely within 8 weeks of administration of 400 mg pentoxifylline twice daily.Keywords
