Scleredema diabeticorum – A case report

We report a case of a 65year-old hypertensive and diabetic male who presented with marked thickening of the upper back with obvious peau d’orange changes. Association with other complications of diabetes is not certain and treatment is difficult, though improvement is possible with optimal glycaemic control. Scleredema diabeticorum is rare and is a cause of significant morbidity in diabetes.
