A Rare Case of Spontaneous Non-Surgical Meleney's Gangrene in a Middle-Aged Female with Poorly Controlled Diabetes Mellitus

Meleney's gangrene is a rare form of necrotizing fasciitis that most often arises after surgical operations or minor injuries. It is about a 52-year-old woman who had a history of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and, without any history of surgery or trauma, developed spontaneous Meleney’s gangrene in the infraumbilical and medial thigh areas. This case highlights the need for prompt diagnosis and intensive therapy of necrotizing soft tissue infections, particularly in individuals with diabetes.
