Abstract:
Panniculitis is an inflammatory reaction of the subcutaneous fat. Erythema nodosum is its most common form and mesenteric panniculitis is well known. We describe a case of posterior mediastinal panniculitis confirmed by gun biopsy and describe the CT and pathologic findings. CT showed a paraspinal mass containing a small amount of fat in the posterior mediastinum.
