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.

UNLABELLED A HISTOPATHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS: Histiocytic cytophagic panniculitis is the specific skin finding in the reactive hemophagocytic syndrome. It is a feverish nodular eruption which accompanies the other clinical and biological features of the reactive hemophagocytic syndrome. Histopathologic changes are diagnostic and consist in a lobular panniculitis characterized by the presence of a h...

Introduction Panniculitis is an inflammatory disorder of subcutaneous adipose tissue, frequently accompanied by vaculitis and systemic involvement. The peak age of patients is 20-30 years, and it is fairly rare in children, especially in infants. Therefore, panniculitis-like lesions in young children require differential diagnostic procedures and sometimes joined efforts of rheumatologists, hem...

Isolated omental panniculitis is a rare entity mostly seen in adults. It presents with the inflammation of the fatty tissue of the omentum. The symptoms may vary from local (e.g. abdominal tenderness or palpable mass) to systemic manifestations including abdominal pain, back pain, fever, weight loss and bowel disturbances. We presented this case as a first awareness of omental panniculitis in a...
