Abstract
A patient with the rare condition necrobiotic xanthogranuloma was treated from 1992 to 1999 with multiple therapies, none of which was effective. Her disease was progressive, causing significant disability. In September 1999 a trial of high-dose pulsed oral dexamethasone with maintenance corticosteroids led to a substantial improvement in her condition.
