title: Scleredema diabeticorum of Buschke confined to the thighs.
abstract: We describe a patient with insulin-dependent diabetes without vascular complications in whom scleredema was confined to the thighs. Electron microscopy demonstrated heterogeneity in both the size and density of the collagen fibrils and the presence of filamentous material between them.
