Panniculitis with lipid crystallization within adipocytes may be seen in several disorders, including crystal‐storing histiocytosis, gouty panniculitis, subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn, post‐steroid panniculitis, sclerema neonatorum, oxalosis and subcutaneous fungal infections by mucormycosis, zygomycosis or aspergillosis. Panniculitis at the sites of subcutaneous injection of drugs are frequent, but to our knowledge no crystals have been described in the drug‐induced panniculitis at the sites of subcutaneous injections. We report on a patient who developed a panniculitis with lipid crystallization at the site of etanercept injection. 相似文献
A 65‐year‐old woman presented to our clinic with a 2‐month history of papulopustular lesions on her right hand that had progressively increased in size and number. She had a 15‐year history of psoriasis vulgaris and had developed digital arthralgias within the preceding few months. A diagnosis of psoriatic arthropathy was made and she was treated by multiple intra‐articular steroid injections on the back of the right hand. One month after the last injection, the lesions had developed over the treatment area. The patient had no apparent history of trauma, but had grown flowers for years. Dermatologic examination revealed three fluctuating, erythematous, superficial, scaling nodules, measuring 0.5‐1.5 cm, on the second and fourth metacarpal bones and on the proximal phalanx of the fourth finger. Many scattered papulopustular lesions were also present on the back of the right hand ( Fig. 1 ).

Plasma cell cheilitis is an idiopathic, benign, inflammatory condition characterized by a dense band-like infiltrate of plasma cells in the oral mucosa. In addition to the lips, the disease can affect the penis, vulva, buccal mucosa, palate, gingiva, tongue, epiglottis, and larynx. Some authors have shown the effectiveness of topical or intralesional corticosteroids; however, there have been many reports describing poor therapeutic responses to topical steroids. We describe three patients with plasma cell cheilitis whose clinical condition responded rapidly to the intralesional injection of corticosteroids. 相似文献
