Cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis is a rare disease, associated with either nonmalignant conditions or subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma, and often also associated with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). We report the case of a 11-year-old boy with a history of secondary HLH who, after a local trauma, developed a painful, indurated plaque over the right thigh associated wi...

Sir, Pancreatic panniculitis (PP) is a rare disease that is caused by the massive release of pancreatic enzymes into the bloodstream and results in cytosteatonecrosis of the hypodermis. PP is clinically characterized by painful or asymptomatic nodules of the legs that closely resemble erythema nodosum or infectious panniculitis (1). The nodules may sometimes spontaneously ulcerate and drain bro...

Cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis (CHP) was first described in 1980. It classically presents with intermittent recurrent episodes of pyrexia subcutaneous nodules, pancytopenia and liver dysfunction, but most patients have in addition a multitude of other manifestations which confuse the clinical picture. Despite the variable clinical course, the disease is often fatal. Diagnosis is based on h...

Post-steroid panniculitis is known to be very rare and most of the reported cases have been in children after corticosteroid therapy. We present a case of post-steroid panniculitis occurring in a 60-year-old man after massive, long-term administration of corticosteroids for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Histopathological examination of a nodule revealed a p...

Panniculitis is an inflammatory disease of subcutaneous adipose tissue which is rarely associated with dermatomyositis. It can occur before, after or simultaneously with muscle damage. In most cases, the evolution of panniculitis and of other dermatomyositis affections is favorable with corticosteroids and/or immunosuppressants. We report the case of a 48 year-old patient who developed pannicul...

Panniculitis in Patients Undergoing Treatment With the Bruton Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Ibrutinib for Lymphoid Leukemias Ibrutinib is an oral inhibitor of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) withmarked activity in several B-cell malignant neoplasms.1 Commonly reported adverse events include diarrhea, infection, fatigue, arthralgias, pyrexia, hypertension, and neutropenia.2 Grade 1 and 2 rashes have be...

ISSN 0001-5555 Cold panniculitis in horse riders, also known as horse rider’s pernio or equestrian panniculitis, is a rare phenomenon. Most published reports present only a few patients (1–5). Cold-induced pernio has also been reported in cyclists, motorists, milk-delivery men, golf-buggy drive...

We present a case of 70 year old man with recurrent abdominal pain for one month, which preceded the onset erythematous tender nodules over bilateral lower limbs. After full history taking and extensive investigations, he was subsequently found to have chronic pancreatitis pancreatic duct stone. Skin biopsy showed lobular panniculitis in setting high serum amylase, diagnosed panniculitis. highl...

Pancreatic panniculitis is an uncommon condition that can occur in association with pancreatic disease. Most of the cases reported to date were associated with acute or chronic pancreatitis and pancreas cancer. Recently, development has been described in kidney transplant patients and secondarily to allograft pancreatitis in a pancreas-kidney transplant recipient. Both findings suggest that imm...
