A Patient with a Severe Scleroedema diabeticorum, Partially Responding to Low-Dose Methotrexate

Sorry, there is no abstract available. Read the first few lines of the text instead! Cutaneous signs accompanying diabetes mellitus (DM) are numerous and varied. According to Gilgor and Lazarus [1], 30% of patients with DM develop a skin disorder that is an early indicator of yet undiagnosed diabetes or a complication of known diabetes. A relatively underestimated complication of diabetes is scleroedema diabeticorum. It forms a distinct clinical entity and can be differentiated from scleroedema adultorum of Buschke, which develops at any age, frequently after an upper respiratory infection and spontaneously clears in months or years [2].
