Abstract
Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a cutaneous disorder with distinctive clinical and morphologic characteristics. It is associated with diabetes mellitus in two thirds of cases. The aetiology and pathogenesis of NL are unknown but familial cases of NL seem to be extremely rare. We report the occurrence of NL in two sisters with normal glucose tolerance.Entities:
