Necrobiosis Lipoidica Diabeticorum with Alopecia Showing Sarcoid-like Reaction. Presented by Col. Raymond M. Williams (MC), U. S. Army.A 35-year-old pregnant woman developed lesions over the anterior surfaces of both legs two years ago. Multiple lesions appeared within three months. In March, 1957, a small bald spot was found in the scalp, which rapidly enlarged to its present size of 4×8 cm. In July, 1957, in the left parietal region a second area of alopecia started, which is now 3×4 cm.There are numerous discrete and confluent, slightly depressed, oval-shaped plaques over both shins (Fig. 1). These have a smooth surface and a translucent, slightly yellowish appearance. In the scalp are two large areas of alopecia, one in the superior occipital and one in the left parietal region (Fig. 2). The scalp in these lesions is thin, atrophic, yellowish red, smooth, and covered with telangiectatic vessels.Of two |
