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...

Mesenteric Panniculitis is a benign fibro-inflammatory process involving adipose tissue of the mesentery. It is characterised by fat necrosis, chronic inflammation and fibrosis, causing thickening and shortening of the mesentery. Patients may present with localised abdominal pain, abdominal mass, intestinal obstruction and ischaemic colitis. We report a case of mesenteric panniculitis causing a...

subcutaneous panniculitis-like t-cell lymphoma (sptcl) is an infrequent cytotoxic t-cell lymphoma of the skin with a unique immunophenotypic profile. here we describe this lymphoma in a 30-year-old iranian woman. she presented with periorbital edema, mandibular swelling with edematous areas on her face and two small lymph nodes (6-7mm) in the cervical area. histopathological findings revealed l...

IMPORTANCE Cold panniculitis is a self-limited condition, manifesting as erythematous plaques or nodules after cold exposure, that typically affects infants and children. Recently, a variant involving the lateral thighs of equestrians has been described. Since the original report of this variant, some confusion has arisen in the literature in which the terms equestrian cold panniculitis and equ...

A 19 year old man presented with fever and left pleural effusion. Biopsy of a subcutaneous nodule and bone marrow led to the diagnosis of idiopathic lobular panniculitis (Weber-Christian disease). Thoracoscopically guided biopsy of the visceral pleura also revealed panniculitis change in the pleural adipose tissue.

Two siblings had hyperpigmented indurations over the inner aspects of both thighs extending to the lower abdomen. Skin biopsy showed plasma cell panniculitis favoring a diagnosis of morphea profundus. Family history of consanguinity was present, but both parents were unaffected. To our knowledge this is the first report of autosomal recessive plasma cell panniculitis with the clinical manifesta...

We report a case of disseminated cutaneous Mycobacterium chelonae infection. A patient with dermatomyositis associated with malignancy presented with features of panniculitis. This was later confirmed to be cutaneous Mycobacterium chelonae infection. Disseminated cutaneous Mycobacterium chelonae infection and panniculitis are reviewed.
