A Case of Eosinophilic Panniculitis
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Eosinophilic panniculitis does not a specific disease entity but represents a unique reactive pattern that may be associated with inflammatory and immunoreactive disease. Its clinical and laboratory data indicate that there is a group of
psychiatric and
immunoreactive allergic patients who develop inflammation of the fat, principally eosinophils, and that this reaction is self-limited and nonspecific in most cases, and probably steroid-responsive.
We report a case of eosinophilic panniculitis in a 35-year-old man who had developed pruritic tender erythematous plaques on his legs and right arm with blood eosinoophilia. Microscopic examination revealed diffuse eosinophilic infiltration in
the
subcutaneous fat tissue. (Kor J Dermatol 1993 ; 31(3) : 387-391)
