Abstract:
A 32-year-old woman had a brownish hard plaque with localized hypertrichosis. She had fallen down some stairs 1 year previously, and the injury had left a scar on her right shin. Even though pain and the scar had gone, the brown patch had remained. During that time hair had been grown on the site. Histologic examination showed lobular panniculitis, fat necrosis, fibrotic change and lipomembranous change. We diagnosed the patient as a traumatic panniculitis with localized hypertrichosis, based on the trauma history, skin lesion and histologic findings. We report a case of traumatic panniculitis with localized hypertrichosis.
