- Abstract
We present a rare case of blistering over the abdomen caused by lipodermatosclerosis, a chronic fibrosing panniculitis secondary to venous hypertension,[1] which is commonly seen on the lower legs in older patients. The patient had multiple chronic conditions, including Type 2 diabetes, morbid obesity, chronic kidney disease, multiple strokes and multiple myocardial infarctions. Antigravity measures such as bed rest, together with early treatment of lymphoedema and obesity may prevent irreversible lymphoedema and secondary complications.
