pubmed:abstractText
Recurrent episodes of livid, painful, subcutaneous nodules on both lower extremities with consecutive soft tissue atrophy developed in a 57-year-old woman with previously undiagnosed primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Histological examination of a biopsy taken from an active area of the skin showed nodular nonsuppurative panniculitis. Immunosuppressive therapy with prednisone was necessary to control disease activity. The etiology and pathogenesis of nodular nonsuppurative panniculitis is still unknown. Frequently, the disease occurs in patients with autoimmune disorders. The association with PBC and Hashimoto's disease as described herein reinforces the view that nodular nonsuppurative panniculitis may be the response of the subcutaneous adipose tissue to an unknown autoimmune stimulus.
