Nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy – a rare case

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present a rare case of nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD) in a 54 year old male,
which has been recently described fibrosing disorder that emerges in different settings of renal insufficiency. These are
characterized by skin- coloured to erythematous papules that coalesce into plaques markedly thickened in texture. To date,
the registry for NFD lists approximately 175 cases worldwide. In our case, clinical features, histopathology, special stains and
immunohistochemistry were diagnostic of NFD.
