Abstract:
We report a case of histiocytic cytophagic panniculitis in a 5-year-old male. The patient has complained of multiple erythematous indurated palques with tenderness on the lower abdomen, periocular areas, left forearm and both thighs associated with high fever for 45 days. Hepatosplenomegaly and enlarged lymph nodes were found. Laboratory data revealed pancytopenia, elevation of liver enzymes and prolon gation of PT and PTT. Histopathologic findings of subcutaneous plaque taken from the left forenrm showed lobular panniculitis with fat necrosis and some phagocytic histiocytes containing erythrocytes, leukocytes, lymphocytes and nuclear debris, that had the appearance of bean bag. There found no atypical histiocytic infiltrations or cellular pleomorphism.
