Idiopathic diabetic bullosum. A case report

MH Hofbauer and D Puleo
Podiatry Hospital of Pittsburgh, PA.

The authors describe a case in which an 88-year-old black male with a long-standing history of diabetes, blindness, and dialysis therapy presented with idiopathic diabetic bullosum of the left foot distal extremities. The lesions usually are intraepidermal and resolve spontaneously over a period of weeks with no resulting scar formation. The lesions are highly recurrent. In this specific case, the long healing time may be attributed to the age of the patient as well as the decrease in immune and systemic response to injury, weakened by dialysis therapy and his poor arterial status.
