Article Synopsis
- Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a long-term skin condition typically seen on lower legs but is reported here on elbows, often following trauma or surgery.
- In a study of four patients (three men and one woman, average age 64), all developed chronic skin lesions after surgical or traumatic injury, with symptoms such as plaques and ulceration.
- Treatments included doxycycline, which helped two patients partially heal, and adalimumab, which successfully cleared ulcers in one patient, indicating a need for further investigation into this unusual presentation of NL.
