Neutrophilic panniculitis - 24/08/11
Abstract |
Neutrophilic (lobular) panniculitis (NP) is a very rare condition that belongs to the group of neutrophilic dermatoses. We report the case of a patient with NP and review the relevant literature. NP appears as a subcutaneous nodular eruption. Histology shows a lobular neutrophilic infiltrate. NP must be differentiated from other types of panniculitis, and also from the subcutaneous septal involvement that may occur in some cases of Sweet's syndrome and from erythema nodosum. NP is significantly associated with myelodysplasia. It is highly sensitive to oral steroid therapy.
