Panniculitis, Lupus Erythematosus*

Introduction: Lupus panniculitis (LP) is an unusual type of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) wherein the cutaneous inflam- matory reaction involves primarily the deeper dermis and subcutaneous fat. It is characterized by the appearance of recurrent, mostly asymptomatic, firm, nodules or plaques, involving the face, upper limbs, and buttocks. Case report: In our case, a 30-year-old female presented with a non-tender, non-movable nodule on the left breast, 6 weeks prior to her admission. She had fever, chills, and joint pains. The patient later developed hyperpigmented plaques on the infra- clavicular area, and left flank extending to the abdomen. Urinalysis showed proteinuria, and RBC cast. She also had leukopenia, and anemia on CBC. Chest computerized tomography (CT) scan revealed a heterogeneously enhancing soft tissue mass in the base of the neck at the right infraclavicular region with malignant features. ANA titer was normal, while skin biopsy on two sites and direct immunofluorescence studies were compatible with lupus panniculitis. She was managed as a case of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) using a combination of hydroxychloroquine, and oral corticosteroids, which afforded temporary relief of symptoms. The patient however was lost to follow-up and opted for alternative medicine, and subsequently succumbed to the complications of SLE. Conclusion This case highlights the importance of a carefully made assessment after an accurate clinicopathological cor- relation was done. This case also emphasizes that although LP if associated with SLE may signify a milder condition, judicious monitoring and follow-up must still be undertaken since management is based on the disease activity.

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.

The nodular vasculitis described by Montgomery on 1945 and is characterized by relatively chronic, persistent, or recurrent nodular lesions of nontuberculous origin chiefly on the legs. In the differential diagnosis the following must also be considered; erythema induratum, eythema nodosum, Weber-Christian disease, erythema nodosum migrans, recurrent thrombophrebitis and periarteritis nodosa. The authors observed one case of nodular vasculitis caused by sulfa drug. This patient was diagnosed to papulonecrotic tuberculid at first and treated by prednisolone 20 mg, INH 300 mg and streptomycin l.0 gm BIW. By the treatment, the patient, was cured completly within 3 months but visited again because of recurrence after 6 months. Therefore, same medication was given, but did not show improvment and added sulfa drug, Lederkyne. But, unfortunately the skin lesions was aggrevated after sulfa medication. It was suggestive that the cause of aggrevation was sulfa drug and discontinued the sulfa drug. The skin lesions were completely cured after the drug was discontinued.

Peritoneal diagnosis was performed on 3 infants of 7 months, 10 months and 30 months old age with liver and kidney failure associated with severe disorders of vital functions. These 3 subjects were related to intoxication from medicaments or to blood transfusion complications. In combining with comprehend vive treatment of internal surgical techniques A 3-10 day course of diagnosis have saved all these 3 infants, their vital functions including liver and kidney function have turned to normal standards. After 1 year follow up, the results were stable

Mesenteric panniculitis is a infrequent, benign idiopathic inflammatory disease of the mesenteric fat tissues. It is characterized by infiltration of lipid-laden macrophages and associated with variable degree of inflammation and fibrosis. Common symptoms are abdominal pain and palpable mass. The diagnosis is made by ultrasound, computed tomogram (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), combined with the histologic findings. However, definitive diagnosis is difficult in many cases and it is often misdiagnosed as abdominal tumor before laparotomy is performed. Because mesenteric panniculitis can occur in pelvic cavity, it should be differentiated from tumor of pelvic organ. We report a case of mesenteric panniculitis of rectosigmoid colon mimicking pelvic tumor with a brief review of literatures.
