Resumo(s)
Ulceration constitutes the main complication of necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) and usually occurs after trauma. Ulcerated NL predisposes patients to infections and very rarely is associated with malignant transformation, mainly to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
We describe the case of a 68-year-old Caucasian male diagnosed with disseminated NL associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), presenting a SCC on an ulcerated plaque of NL located on the left forearm and chronic osteomyelitis of the radius.
