Abstract:
Scleredema adultorum of Buschke is an unusual manifestation of diabetes mellitus that can result in painful indurations and thickening of the skin with associated limitation of motion, and has been previously reported to be responsive to radiotherapy. We report on the method employed to treat a severely affected patient by means of opposed photon fields and multiple electron fields encompassing his entire neck, arms, and thorax.
