Recurrent erythema nodosum: a diagnostic dilemma

Erythema nodosum is the most frequent clinico‐pathological variant of the panniculitides. We describe a case of a young lady who suffered from recurrent attacks of erythema nodosum over the anterior side of the lower extremities which was confirmed by histopathological finding. She was treated with corticosteroid and immuno‐suppressive agents without much improvement. She responded well to oral colchicine.
