Panniculitis is a rarely reported clinical finding in dermatomyositis. We present a 14-year-old African American boy with a 4-year history of dermatomyositis referred for evaluation of tender, indurated plaques and nodules on the trunk and proximal extremities. A biopsy specimen revealed epidermal and dermal changes consistent with dermatomyositis. Although calcification was absent, a striking lobular panniculitis was observed. A total of seven cases of clinical panniculitis in association with dermatomyositis have been published. As in our patient, it typically presents as indurated, tender plaques and nodules on the arms, thighs, and buttocks. Although in the vast majority of cases panniculitis found in association with dermatomyositis is subclinical and represents an incidental histopathologic finding, the case we present further emphasizes the need to recognize panniculitis as a rare, but clinically relevant pathologic feature seen in certain lesions of juvenile dermatomyositis. 相似文献

Panniculitis is an uncommon cutaneous manifestation of connective tissue diseases. Our discussion will include panniculitis occurring in the setting of lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, and scleroderma/morphea. These subtypes of panniculitis are unified by an active inflammatory stage of the disease that can progress to develop scarring, atrophy, and calcifications. Treatment is most effective if initiated during the active phase of the disease and often requires systemic therapy because of the location of the inflammation. Antimalarials are the initial treatment of choice for most cases of lupus erythematosus panniculitis, whereas corticosteroids in combination with other steroid‐sparing immunosuppressive agents are the first‐line treatment for panniculitis in patients with dermatomyositis. The appropriate treatment for panniculitis in the setting of morphea/scleroderma varies based on clinical severity. 相似文献

An 11-year-old girl presented with a one-year history of multiple, hard, slightly painful subcutaneous nodules on her right cheek, upper arms, and buttock. Histology of a skin biopsy specimen showed a lobular panniculitis. Laboratory studies revealed positive ANA, anti-double strand DNA, and elevated muscle enzymes. She was diagnosed as having lupus panniculitis. During hydroxychloroquine treatment, erythema over knuckle joints developed. These unusual clinical and laboratory findings of panniculitis associated connective tissue diseases made it difficult to make a precise diagnosis. We report this unusual case of lupus panniculitis with combined features of dermatomyositis resulting in severe lipoatrophy. 相似文献

We report a 15‐year‐old girl who presented with indurated, subcutaneous nodules in addition to classical findings of juvenile dermatomyositis. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of panniculitis associated with juvenile dermatomyositis. Considering that panniculitis is a rare cutaneous manifestation of juvenile dermatomyositis, we present a patient with a brief review of the published work to highlight the importance of keeping juvenile dermatomyositis in mind among the etiologies of pediatric panniculitis. 相似文献

In connective tissue diseases, panniculitis can be the sole manifestation or can occur along with the underlying disease process. The best described forms of connective tissue panniculitis are lupus erythematosus panniculitis and lupus profundus, panniculitis associated with dermatomyositis, and morphea- and scleroderma-associated panniculitis. These processes cause significant morbidity, such as deep atrophic scars, cosmetic disfigurement, and psychiatric sequelae. Because the inflammation is located in the subcutaneous adipose layer, topical therapies may not penetrate enough to be effective, and systemic agents are required. Despite the large number of reported cases and therapies, recommendations for treatment are based largely on case series and expert opinion due to a lack of controlled therapeutic trials. All treatments are off-label in the United States. The lack of validated clinical outcome measures makes systematic and controlled studies difficult. Nonetheless, further investigation into the most effective therapies for these conditions is needed. 相似文献

Panniculitis is a rare clinical finding in dermatomyositis, with less than 30 cases reported and there is only one case associated with the amyopathic subtype described in the literature. The present report describes a 49-year-old female patient that one year after being diagnosed with amyopathic dermatomyositis, presented indurated, painful, erythematous to violaceous nodules located on the upper limbs, thighs and gluteal region. Skin biopsy revealed lobular panniculitis with a lymphocytic infiltrate. The patient was treated with prednisone and methotrexate, but remained unresponsive to treatment. 相似文献

We report the case of a 42-year-old woman with concomitant panniculitis and dermatomyositis. Painful, indurated lesions on the buttocks, thighs, arms, abdomen and breasts were associated with proximal muscle weakness. Skin biopsy revealed lobular panniculitis, and vacuolar degeneration of epidermal basal cells. Direct immunofluorescence was negative. Serum muscle enzyme (creatine-phosphokinase) levels were elevated, and electromyography demonstrated a myositic process. Muscle biopsy showed an inflammatory myositis. These results were consistent with dermatomyositis associated with panniculitis. Only tive cases of this association have been reported previously. The relationship between these two conditions is discussed. 相似文献

The second part of our review of panniculitis summarizes the clinicopathologic features of the mostly lobular panniculitides. Erythema induratum of Bazin (nodular vasculitis) represents the most common variant of lobular panniculitis with vasculitis, although controversy persists about the nature of the involved vessels. Mostly lobular panniculitides without vasculitis comprise a series of disparate disorders. These include sclerosing panniculitis that results from chronic venous insufficiency of the lower extremities; panniculitis with calcification of the vessel walls such as calciphylaxis and oxalosis; and inflammatory diseases with crystals within the adipocytes such as sclerema neonatorum, subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn, and poststeroid panniculitis. Connective tissue diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and dermatomyositis, pancreatic diseases, and alpha(1)-antitrypsin deficiency may also show a mostly lobular panniculitis with characteristic histopathologic features. Lobular panniculitis may also be an expression of infections, trauma, or factitial causes involving the subcutaneous fat. Lipoatrophy refers to a loss of subcutaneous fat due to a previous inflammatory process involving the subcutis, and it may be the late-stage lesion of several types of panniculitis. In contrast, lipodystrophy means an absence of subcutaneous fat with no evidence of inflammation and often the process is associated with endocrinologic, metabolic, or autoimmune diseases. Finally, cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis is the term that has been used to describe two different processes: one is inflammatory, a lobular panniculitis, and the other one is neoplastic, a subcutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The only common feature of these two different processes is the presence of cytophagocytosis in the lesions. (J Am Acad Dermatol 2001;45:325-61.) Learning objective: At the completion of this learning activity, participants should be familiar with the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, histopathologic findings, and treatment options for the most frequent variants of the lobular panniculitides. 相似文献

Cutaneous mucinosis secondary to autoimmune collagen vascular disease is well recognized, but manifestation as cellulitis-like massive cutaneous mucinosis preceding dermatomyositis is unusual. Here we report a 21-year-old Taiwanese woman with a large, rapid onset, painful erythematous, edematous plaque, which histopathologically revealed septal panniculitis with fat necrosis and massive mucin deposition. Incapacitated muscle weakness of proximal extremities, generalized edema, heliotrope erythema, and Gottron's papules developed in a short period of time with high titers of serum muscle enzyme. Serological titers of ANA, anti-dsDNA, anti-ENA panels, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, however, all showed unremarkable results. Diagnosis of dermatomyositis was confirmed by electromyographic findings of myopathy. As the disease progressed, large, deep cutaneous ulceration and vesiculobullous lesions also developed. In spite of aggressive treatment, the patient died 9 months after the disease onset, probably due to the complication of gastrointestinal ischemia and perforation. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic panniculitis is a rare entity, occurring in less than 2% of patients with pancreatic disorders. Skin manifestations may precede the diagnosis of a pancreatic disease by many months. When treatable, correction of the underlying pancreatic disorder may lead to prompt resolution of the panniculitis. OBJECTIVE: We present the case of a 74-year-old-man with a history of chronic pancreatitis who presented with an acute onset of tender, nonulcerating nodules. The clinical and histologic features of pancreatic panniculitis are discussed, with a brief review of the differential diagnosis and clinical approach to panniculitis. CONCLUSIONS: Pancreatic panniculitis is a recognizable clinical entity with characteristic histologic features that may resolve with treatment of the underlying pancreatic disorder. The algorithm-based clinical approach to panniculitis presented in this study is a practical tool designed to guide clinicians in ordering investigations and determining the appropriate management for patients presenting with subcutaneous nodules. 相似文献

Lipoatrophy and localized panniculitis have been described as rare complications of daily subcutaneous glatiramer acetate injections for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). We describe the biopsies from two MS patients in a single neurologist's practice who developed clinical lesions of lipoatrophy at the sites of subcutaneous glatiramer acetate injections. These biopsies showed a lobular panniculitis with lipoatrophy that more closely resembled lupus panniculitis than previous reports of localized panniculitis at glatiramer acetate injection sites. In one case, the area of clinical lipoatrophy continued to enlarge for 6 months after stopping glatiramer acetate therapy, before stabilizing at its current size for the last 8 months. Injection site reactions to glatiramer acetate should be considered in the differential diagnosis of biopsies that show a lupus panniculitis-like appearance. Our observations indicate that glatiramer acetate induced panniculitis is common and may continue to progress after therapy has stopped. In this single neurologist's practice, 64% of the patients receiving daily glatiramer acetate injections had clinical evidence of lipoatrophy or panniculitis. Of 100 consecutive patients receiving therapy for MS between February and November 2006, 14 patients were on glatiramer acetate, 9 of whom had clinical lipoatrophy. 相似文献

Polymyositis and dermatomyositis are idiopathic inflammatory myopathies characterized by subacute symmetrical weakness of proximal limb and trunk muscles. Dermatomyositis is distinguished from polymyositis by the presence of rash.1,2 We describe an adult patient with treatment-resistant childhood-type dermatomyositis who made a good response to high dose intravenous immunoglobulins. Additionally, there was evidence of panniculitis which is an unusual histopathological finding in dermatomyositis. 相似文献

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune systemic disease characterized by small vessel involvement that leads to tissue ischemia and fibroblast stimulation resulting in accumulation of collagen (fibrosis) in the skin and internal organs. Lipomembranous panniculitis is a peculiar type of fat necrosis and has been reported with clinical conditions, commonly with peripheral vascular diseases. We describe a case of a 43‐year‐old woman with SSc manifestations, who presented with black scaly skin plaques, associated with thickening of the subcutaneous fat tissue, on the lateral surface of her thighs, her calves, gluteal area and lower abdomen. Biopsy revealed lipomembranous panniculitis. Lipomembranous changes have been seen in connective tissue disorders such as lupus profundus, morphea, systemic sclerosis and panniculitis associated with dermatomyositis, but rarely in thighs, calves, gluteal area and lower abdomen.

Alpha‐1‐antitrypsin deficiency (AATD)‐related panniculitis is an extremely rare and underdiagnosed entity, and there is a paucity of data on its treatment. We report two cases of AATD‐related panniculitis. The first was a 24‐year‐old woman with known AATD who presented with painful leg ulcers refractory to treatment with corticosteroids and colchicine. She had a good response to α1‐antitrypsin infusions but required dose adjustment due to flares in disease activity. The second case was a 38‐year‐old woman who presented with painful nodules on the legs refractory to corticosteroid therapy. Laboratory investigations revealed severe AATD. She had an excellent response to colchicine therapy. In both these cases of AATD, panniculitis was the first clinical manifestation of the disease. AATD‐related panniculitis may have none of the typical clinical clues for AATD, such as a family history, cirrhosis or emphysema. Early identification may help prevent these complications from developing. 相似文献
