Many skin lesions are associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) type 1 or 2, due to the use of antidiabetics or to metabolic and endocrine disorders caused by this disease. Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) occurs more frequently in patients with DM. Painful ulcerations may occur on NL areas in about 20-25%
BACKGROUND
Glut-1 is the human erythrocyte glucose transporter which mediates facilitative transport of glucose across epithelial and endothelial barrier tissues. A primary abnormality in glucose transport and Glut-1 cell-surface content has been observed in fibroblasts from NIDDM and obese
Necrobiosis lipoidica is a rare granulomatous disorder of the skin. In up to 30% of the affected patients it can lead to ulcerations, which can impair the quality of life and are also very difficult to treat. Its pathogenesis is not fully understood. Only few studies focussing on necrobiosis
BACKGROUND
Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a rare granulomatous inflammatory skin disease of unknown pathophysiology. Its potential association with diabetes mellitus is well known. Other relevant cofactors and comorbidities are subject to controversial debate.

Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a rare dermatosis that has been shown to precede the onset of diabetes mellitus in 15% of patients. It is more common in women; the average age of the onset is 30 years. Skin lesions of classic NL begin as a small papule, typically on the bilateral pretibial area.
A 32-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus suffering from morbid obesity with BMI 45,14 kg/m(2) was operated on. Not only the type 2DM but also one of its complication known as necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum remitted postoperatively. Obesity should no longer be regarded simply as a
A 57-year-old obese patient presented with a 5 month history of tender, indurated, erythematous plaques with superficial ulceration on the right shin. The lesions closely mimicked cellulitis but were unresponsive to antibiotics. Though the patient was not a known diabetic, on investigations she was
Obesity and diabetes are chronic diseases that affect people all over the world, and their incidence is increasing in both children and adults. Clinically, they affect a number of organs, including the skin. The cutaneous manifestations caused or aggravated by obesity and diabetes are varied and
Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a rare granulomatous condition. Current knowledge of its key features is based on a limited number of studies and case reports, leading to wide variability in the characterization of its defining features, with limited comparison of patients with or A 16-year-old boy with Prader-Labhart-Willi syndrome (PLWS) had hypotonia, feeding difficulties, failure to thrive, strabismus and bilateral inguinal hernias with cryptorchidism during infancy followed by hyperphagia, marked early-onset obesity with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and
Clinicopathologic correlation of cutaneous biopsy specimens demonstrating typical lipomembranous fat necrosis was performed. Material from 732 biopsies of various subcutaneous inflammatory disorders seen at our institution in the past 5 years was screened for typical lipomembranous (membranocystic)
Many skin lesions are specific for diabetes mellitus. Necrobiosis lipoidica, lipoatrophy and idiopathic bullae (bullosis diabeticorum) are usually associated with diabetes. However, diabetic scleredema has not been noticed by internists, although dermatologists have paid attention to such a
A 35-year-old obese man presented with a chief complaint of hand dryness of 5 years' duration. He was a store manager and denied exposure to chemicals, repetitive trauma, chronic irritation, and hard manual labor. However, he did admit to frequent hand washing. He had no itching or swelling in his
We report on a 60-year-old overweight white woman who presented with an asymptomatic flat, hard, yellow-brown subcutaneous plaque on her right hip. A total excision was performed. Histopathologic examination showed all the major features of a necrobiotic xanthogranuloma (NX) involving the entire
Youth-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing in many countries, creating large personal and societal burdens. While many primary health-care professionals (HCPs) are aware of the classic symptoms of T2D, there are several other manifestations that could indicate its
