Abstract
We review the literature on the surgical treatment of necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum, and we describe 7 cases treated at Stanford University Medical Center. Experiences with them prompt us to recommend surgical excision of the lesions down to the deep fascia, ligation of the associated perforating blood vessels, and the use of split-skin grafts to cover the defects. There were no recurrences when we did all these things.
