A case of a 58‐year‐old man with ulcerated necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum on the lateral aspect of the left foot was described. The ulcer showed no tendency toward healing despite conservative treatment and simple closure. However, a stable covering was achieved by skin flap transfer after radical debridement following intravenous prostaglandin E1 infusion.
