| Abstract: | Squamous cell carcinomas developed in bilateral pretibial lesions of necrobiosis lipoidica in a 39 year old non-diabetic male. The tumours and areas of necrobiosis were successfully excised and repaired with full thickness skin grafts. Despite the chronic scarring and at times ulcerative nature of necrobiosis lipoidica, complicating squamous cell carcinomas have infrequently been reported. |
