Bullosis diabeticorum in a newly discovered type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Bullosis diabeticorum (BD), although a rare manifestation, is characteristic of diabetes mellitus. The exact origin of BD is unknown. We report another case of a 54-year-old man who developed a blistering lesion on his left leg. Histopathological examination revealed a microangiopathy with hyalinosis of the blood vessel walls.
