ABSTRACT
Weber-Christian disease is an inflammatory disease of subcutaneous fat tissue which is characterized by relapsing, febrile tender nodules and histologically lobular panniculitis. Many cases originally considered as examples of Weber-Christian disease were later found to be other diseases when lobular panniculitis was reclassified, and some authors believe that Weber-Christian disease should no longer be considered as a distinctive entity. However, there are still occasional cases which cannot be diagnosed as other specific diseases but have the characteristic manifestations of Weber-Christian disease, and they attest to the fact that Weber-Christian disease could be a distinctive disease entity. We report here a case of Weber-Christian disease in a 22-year-old female who was treated successfully with steroid pulse therapy.
