| Popis: | A 55-year-old woman with severe, chronic, treatment-resistant ulcerating necrobiosis lipoidica of the shins was commenced on oral cyclosporin at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg/day. Improvement started within 1 week of commencing treatment, and the lesions healed completely over 8 months. Further ulceration occurred 3 months after discontinuing cyclosporin, with improvement on reintroduction of cyclosporin. There have been four previous case reports of healing of treatment-resistant ulcerating necrobiosis lipoidica with cyclosporin. |
