ABSTRACT

Introducción:La mastitis granulomatosa (MG) se define por la presencia de inflamación granulomatosa en el tejido mamario. El eritema nudoso (EN) es una paniculitis inflamatoria reactiva caracterizada por nódulos subcutáneos dolorosos en las extremidades inferiores. La asociación entre MG y EN ha sido descrita, pero está poco estudiada. Nuestro objetivo fue analizar las características clínicas de las pacientes diagnosticadas de MG en nuestro centro y su asociación con EN.Métodos:Se revisaron retrospectivamente los casos diagnosticados histológicamente de MG entre 1995 y 2020.Resultados:Cuarenta y dos mujeres fueron diagnosticadas de MG. La edad media al diagnóstico fue de 41,619años y el 59,5% tenían ascendencia sudamericana. El EN se asoció con MG en el 11,9% de las pacientes. Las pacientes con EN fueron diagnosticadas precozmente respecto a aquellas con MG aislada (0,4meses frente a 6,81; p<0,05). La ulceración en la MG fue más prevalente en pacientes con EN asociado (60% vs 14,7%; p<0,05).Conclusión:El EN en pacientes con GM puede facilitar el diagnóstico precoz de esta rara condición que imita el cáncer de mama.(AU)


Background:Granulomatous mastitis (GM) is defined by the formation of granulomatous inflammation in breast tissue. Erythema nodosum (EN) is a reactive inflammatory panniculitis characterized by erythematous subcutaneous nodules in the lower limbs. The association of GM with EN has been rarely reported. Our aim was to retrospectively review our series of patients with GM to better characterize their features and their association with EN.Methods:Cases histologically diagnosed as granulomatous inflammation in breast tissue between 1995 and 2020 were retrospectively reviewed.Results:Forty-two women were diagnosed with GM. The average age at diagnosis was 41.619years, and 59.5% were of South-American ethnicity. EN was associated with GM in 11.9% of the patients. Patients with EN were diagnosed earlier than isolated GM (0.4months vs 6.81months; P<.05). Ulceration in the GM was more prevalent in patients with associated EN (60% vs 14.7%; P<.05).Conclusion:EN in patients with GM may reduce the evolution time and may help to diagnose this rare condition that mimics breast carcinoma.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La paniculitis mesentérica es una afección infrecuente. Aparece en la adultez tardía, con manifestaciones clínicas inespecíficas, puede cursar asintomática o caracterizarse por dolor, hinchazón y distensión abdominal, masa palpable a nivel del abdomen. Esto puede ser un hallazgo casual al realizar exploraciones radiológicas. Objetivo: Describir las características clínico-imagenológicas, así como terapéutica empleada en el tratamiento de un paciente con paniculitis mesentérica. Presentación de caso: Se presenta el caso de un paciente blanco, masculino de 59 años. Con antecedentes de hiperlipidemia, con cuadros doloroso abdominal inespecífico, de 6 meses de evolución. Se le realiza tomografía axial computarizada de abdomen simple y E/V donde se observó engrosamiento de la grasa mesentérica y múltiples imágenes nodulares a nivel del mesenterio compatible con paniculitis mesentérica. Desarrollo: La paniculitis mesentérica es una enfermedad de baja prevalencia, con mayor predominio en la sexta década de la vida, es habitualmente un hallazgo incidental en laparotomía exploratoria o tomografía computarizada de abdomen. Conclusiones: Deben conocerse las manifestaciones clínicas y hallazgos imagenológicos de la paniculitis mesentérica, así como las variantes terapéuticas en su tratamiento para evitar las intervenciones quirúrgicas innecesarias(AU)


Introduction: Mesenteric panniculitis is a rare condition. It appears in late adulthood, with nonspecific clinical manifestations, it can be asymptomatic or characterized by pain, swelling and abdominal distension, a palpable mass in the abdomen. This can be a chance finding when performing radiological examinations. Objective: To describe the clinical-imaging characteristics, as well as the therapy used in the treatment of a patient with mesenteric panniculitis. Case report: We report the case of a 59-year-old white male patient, with history of hyperlipidemia, nonspecific abdominal pain and 6 months of evolution. A simple abdominal computed tomography and E / V were performed, showing thickening of the mesenteric fat and multiple nodular images at the level of the mesentery compatible with mesenteric panniculitis. Findings: Mesenteric panniculitis is a low prevalence disease, with greater prevalence in the sixth decade of life, which is usually found incidentally in exploratory laparotomy or abdominal computed tomography. Conclusions: The clinical manifestations and imaging findings of mesenteric panniculitis must be known, as well as the therapeutic variants in its treatment to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions(AU)

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: el eritema nudoso es la variante clínico-patológica más frecuente de la paniculitis. Es una reacción cutánea inmunológica en respuesta a un amplio espectro de agentes etiológicos. Objetivo: caracterizar el comportamiento clínico-epidemiológico del eritema nudoso. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo, prospectivo y longitudinal en pacientes con diagnóstico de eritema nudoso, ingresados en el Hospital Provincial Docente Clínico Quirúrgico León Cuervo Rubio, de Pinar del Río, en el período de enero de 2017 a diciembre de 2018. El universo estuvo constituido por 34 pacientes con diagnóstico clínico de eritema nudoso, hospitalizados en los servicios de Medicina Interna y Dermatología. Para la recogida de la información se utilizaron la historia clínica, el examen físico y los exámenes de laboratorio. Se utilizaron métodos teóricos, empíricos y estadísticos; de los últimos se empleó la estadística descriptiva a través de frecuencias absolutas y porcentaje. Resultados: el mayor grupo de pacientes estuvo entre 30 y 39 años, y fue del sexo femenino. Las lesiones fueron más frecuentes en los meses de invierno. El tipo de eritema nudoso idiopático prevaleció. Predominó el tiempo de evolución de 1 a 3 meses. Como causa secundaria predominaron las infecciones, y los tratamientos más usado fueron los antiinflamatorios no esteroideos. Conclusiones: se trata de una importante enfermedad de salud, cuyo un diagnóstico etiológico temprano permite un tratamiento adecuado. Resulta difícil su identificación y manejo tanto en la atención primaria como en la secundaria (AU).


ABSTRACT Introduction: erythema nodosum is the most common clinical-pathological variant of panniculitis. It is an immunological skin reaction in response to a wide spectrum of etiologic agents. Objective: to characterize the clinical-epidemiological behavior of erythema nodosum. Materials and methods: a descriptive, prospective and longitudinal study was carried out in patients with diagnosis of erythema nodosum, admitted to the Provincial Teaching Clinical Surgical Hospital León Cuervo Rubio, of Pinar del Río, in the period January 2017 to December 2018. The universe was formed by 34 patients with clinical diagnosis of erythema nodosum, hospitalized in the services of Internal Medicine and Dermatology. Medical records, physical examination and laboratory tests were used for the collection of information. Theoretical, empirical and statistical methods were used; descriptive statistics was used through absolute frequencies and percentage. Results: the largest group of patients was between 30 and 39 years, and they were female. Injuries were more frequent in the winter months. The type of idiopathic erythema nodosum prevailed. The time of evolution prevailed from 1 to 3 months. Infections predominated as a secondary cause, and the most commonly used treatments were non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Conclusions: it is an important health condition, whose early etiological diagnosis allows the proper treatment. Its identification and management in both primary and secondary care is difficult (AU).

ABSTRACT

Weber-Christian disease is a skin condition that features recurring inflammation in the subcutaneous fat layer and systemic symptoms. The disease is a diagnosis of exclusion characterized by a lobular panniculitis without vasculitis in histopathology. We report an 80-year-old man with constitutional symptoms and relapsing nonsuppurative nodular panniculitis. The purpose of the case described is to emphasize that rare diseases may occur, therefore their diagnosis can only be made with previous medical knowledge and the delay, or even the absence, in the diagnosis of these pathologies could interfere with the quality of life of patients.

ABSTRACT

Resumen La doxiciclina, una tetraciclina semisintética de segunda generación, ampliamente usada para el tratamiento de patologías dermatológicas por sus propiedades antimicrobianas, ha demostrado en varios estudios experimentales sus acciones como un potente fármaco antiinflamatorio, aprobado por estas características por la FDA como una terapia complementaria en la periodontitis del adulto, así como en el tratamiento de la forma papulopustulosa de la rosácea. Se describen además en la literatura otras indicaciones para procesos inflamatorios, tales como, calcinosis cutis, vasculitis livedoide, patologías ampollares, entre otras. Se presenta una serie de 10 pacientes con lipodermatoesclerosis que presentaron una respuesta eficaz a su patología al recibir tratamiento con doxiciclina durante 3 meses, destacando de esta forma su eficacia terapéutica, accesibilidad y baja asociación a efectos adversos.


Abstract Doxycycline, a second generation semi-synthetic tetracycline, widely used for the treatment of dermatological diseases for its antimicrobial effects, has shown in many clinical studies its actions as a powerful anti-inflammatory drug. Approved by the FDA as a complementary therapy in adult periodontitis, and of the papulopustular form of rosacea. In addition, other indications for inflammatory processes are described in the literature, such as calcinosis cutis, livedoid vasculitis, blistering pathologies, among others. We present a series of 10 patients with lipodermatosclerosis who presented an effective response to their pathology when receiving treatment with doxycycline for 3 months. Its therapeutic efficacy, accessibility and low association with adverse effects are highlighted.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Introducción: Las paniculitis constituyen un grupo de enfermedades que afectan al tejido graso subcutáneo y se manifiestan clínicamente como nódulos. Su patogenia no es del todo clara, por lo general es asintomático. El diagnóstico confirmatorio es histológico. Objetivo: describir las características clínicas e histopatológicas de un caso de necrosis grasa, una forma especifica de paniculitis en el recién nacido (RN). Caso Clínico: RN femenino de 40 semanas, parto cesárea de urgencia por taqui cardia fetal más meconio, APGAR 7-8-9. Requirió oxigeno y presión positiva por 5 min. Al quinto día de vida presentó aumento de volumen en tronco posterior, de coloración eritematosa - violácea, remitente a la palpación, no doloroso. Ecotomografría de piel y partes blandas informó aumento de la ecogenecidad del tejido celular subcutáneo y pérdida de definición de las celdillas adiposas de aproximadamente 42.3 x 9.7 x 20.1 mm, sin presencia de vascularización. Biopsia de piel: epidermis con acantosis irregular y ortoqueratosis en cestas; dermis papilar con infiltrado inflamatorio y dermis reticular y tejido adiposo con presencia de infiltrado linfohistocitiario con tendencia a la formación de nódulos, sin compromiso vascular, leves depósitos de colesterol; compatible con necrosis grasa del recién nacido (NGRN). Paciente tuvo regresión completa de la lesión a los tres meses de vida. Conclusiones: se describe un caso compatible clínica e histológicamente con NGRN; sin complica ciones durante su observación. Por lo general esta patología tiene buen pronóstico, con resolución espontánea, como en nuestro caso.


Abstract: Introduction: Panniculitis is a group of diseases that affect subcutaneous fat tissue and clinically manifest as nodules. Its pathogenesis is not entirely clear, and it is usually asymptomatic. The confirma tory diagnosis is histological. Objective: To describe the clinical and histopathological characteristics of a case of fat necrosis, a specific form of panniculitis in the newborn (NB). Clinical Case: 40-week female NB, born by emergency cesarean section due to fetal tachycardia with meconium, Apgar score 7-8-9. She required oxygen and positive pressure for five minutes. On the fifth day of life, she presen ted an increased volume in the posterior trunk region, with an erythematous - purplish discoloration, which is soft and non-tender to palpation. Skin and soft tissues ultrasound showed increased echo genicity of the subcutaneous cellular tissue and loss of definition of the adipocytes of 42.3 x 9.7 x 20.1 mm approximately, without vascularization. Skin biopsy showed epidermis with irregular acanthosis and basket-weave orthokeratosis; papillary dermis with inflammatory infiltrate, and reticular dermis and adipose tissue with presence of lymphohistiocytic infiltrate with a tendency to form nodules, without vascular involvement, and small cholesterol deposits, compatible with subcutaneous fat ne crosis (SBFN) of the newborn. The patient at three months of age had complete regression of the lesion. Conclusions: a clinically and histologically compatible case with SBFN is described, that did not present complications during observation. In general, this pathology has a good prognosis, with spontaneous resolution as in our case.

ABSTRACT

Resumen El eritema nudoso es una reacción de hipersensibilidad cutánea consistente en nódulos eritematosos, sensibles a la palpación, que se encuentran generalmente sobre la región pretibial, aunque también pueden compro- meter muslos, extremidades superiores, glúteos y rostro. La fiebre y las artralgias pueden ser manifestaciones concomitantes. Las lesiones tipo placa pueden aparecer de forma aislada o ser confluentes, evolucionando luego a nódulos dolorosos en el transcurso de varios días. Usualmente, tiene un curso agudo, aunque se han descrito presentaciones crónicas, recurrentes, poco frecuentes. La mayoría de las veces el examen microscópico de las lesiones muestra paniculitis septal sin vasculitis, siendo en ocasiones mixta (lobulillar y septal). Clásicamente, se ha considerado el heraldo de una condición sistémica subyacente (infecciosa o autoinmune) o un fenómeno reactivo tras la exposición a un tóxico o un fármaco. De allí la importancia de conocer su abordaje diagnóstico por parte del médico de atención primaria.


Abstract Erythema nodosum is a reaction of cutaneous hypersensitivity consisting of erythematous nodules, sensitive to palpation, which are usually found on the pretibial region, but which can also involve thighs, upper limbs, buttocks and face. Fever and arthralgia can be concomitant manifestations. The lesions appear in the form of isolated plaques or become confluent, then evolve into painful nodules over several days. Usually, it has an acute course, although chronic, recurrent, rare presentations have been described. Microscopic examination of the lesions shows septal panniculitis without vasculitis. Classically, is considered the herald of an underlying systemic condition (infectious or autoimmune) or a reactive skin phenomenon after exposure to a toxic or drug has been considered; hence the importance of knowing its diagnostic approach by the primary care physician.

ABSTRACT

Heterotopic ossification is an uncommon disorder that consists of deposition of ectopic bone outside the extraskeletal tissues. In the skin, it can be primary, in association with genetic syndromes, or be secondary to different disorders. The latter include subcutaneous ossification of the legs in chronic venousinsufficiency, an infrequent and unrecognized complication. We report the case of a patient with subcutaneous ossification of both legs secondary to venous insufficiency and review the literature.

ABSTRACT

El eritema nodoso (EN) es la forma de paniculitis más común. Este trastorno representa una reacción de hipersensibilidad frente a diferentes antígenos, así como múltiples enfermedades sistémicas y fármacos, aunque en la mayoría de casos se desconoce la causa. Nuevos fármacos se añaden a la lista de involucrados en la etiopatogenia del eritema nodoso conforme van pasando los años, siendo uno de ellos los anticonceptivos hormonales orales combinados. El objetivo de este trabajo es proponer una relación entre los estrógenos de cualquier método anticonceptivo como puede ser el anillo vaginal combinado y la aparición del eritema nodoso.


Erythema nodosum (EN) is the most common form of panniculitis. This disorder represents a hypersensitivity reaction in front of different antigens, as well as multiple systemic diseases and drugs, although in most cases the cause is unknown. New drugs are added to the list of those involved in the etiopathogenesis of erythema nodosum as the years go by, one of them being combined oral hormonal contraceptives. The objective of this study is to propose a relationship between estrogens from any contraceptive method such as the combined vaginal ring and the appearance of erythema nodosum.

ABSTRACT

Resumen La gnatostomiasis es una parasitosis emergente en países no endémicos. Este nematodo zoonótico requiere de agua dulce para su ciclo de vida, donde sus larvas se enquistan principalmente en peces. La migración subcutánea de las larvas produce habitualmente una paniculitis eosinofílica de rápido avance. Se describe un caso clínico de un paciente con una lesión migratoria, sin mejoría clínica con terapia antibacteriana. La búsqueda de factores de riesgo, sumado a la evolución y a los hallazgos de laboratorio hizo sospechar el diagnóstico. La gnatostomiasis debe ser sospechado en pacientes con lesiones de piel migratorias, que han consumido pescado crudo durante viajes a países endémicos en Sudamérica o Asia.


Gnathostomiasis is an emerging disease in non-endemic countries. This zoonotic nematode requires aquatic freshwater environments to complete its life cycle where larvae get encrusted in fishes. Typically, the infection manifests as migratory subcutaneous lesion caused by the larvae trak, which produces an eosinophilic panniculitis. Here we describe a patient who presented a migratory lesion with no response to antimicrobial therapy, a careful travel and food history together with specific laboratory tests led to the correct diagnosis. Gnathostomiasis should be suspected in patients with migratory skin lesions who have consumed raw freshwater fish during travel to endemic countries in South America or Asia.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Lupus panniculitis (LP) is a rare variant of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus, which diagnosis requires clinicopathological correlation, especially in those patients without any other manifestation of lupus erythematosus (LE). According to the phase when the biopsy is performed, histological findings can be non-specific. Few series have been published to date. Hence, we report our own experience in the diagnosis and management of this disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective descriptive clinicopathological study of 12 patients diagnosed in our centre. RESULTS: All the patients had painful and recurrent plaques and/or nodules, with a predilection for proximal extremities, face and scalp. Histopathologic examination showed mostly lobular panniculitis and lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate. For the diagnosis, we also considered the coexistence of other clinical manifestations of LE as well as the expression of CD123 by immunohistochemistry. In 3 patients, LP was the first manifestation of LE. CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis of LP can be difficult. The presence of other clinical and/or histological manifestations of LE along with immunohistochemistry techniques could help in the differential diagnosis with other panniculitis.

ABSTRACT

Resumen La tríada clásica de viaje al Sudeste asiático u a otras áreas endémicas donde se consumen mariscos crudos o mal cocidos, acompañado de paniculitis y eosinofilia periférica, debe alertar al médico sobre una entidad conocida como gnatostomiasis, una infección parasitaria causada por la tercera larva del nemátodo Gnathostoma spp, que generalmente se ve en zonas tropicales y subtropicales. Afecta principalmente la piel, y de allí, puede migrar a tejidos profundos, llegando a comprometer órganos como pulmón, ojos, oídos, tracto gastrointestinal y genitourinario, y menos frecuente el sistema nervioso central. Se presenta el caso de un paciente con cuadro de tres días de evolución consistente en edema, eritema, calor, prurito y dolor en región pectoral izquierda, con la posterior formación de vesícula sobre la lesión inicial y un trayecto lineal eritematoso e indurado sobre la tetilla izquierda; luego del consumo de langostinos en la costa colombiana. Con el antecedente epidemiológico, los hallazgos clínicos e histológicos se hizo el diagnóstico de gnatostomiasis y se realizó manejo exitoso con albendazol.


Abstract The classic triad travel to Southeast Asia or to other endemic areas where raw or undercooked seafood, panniculitis and peripheral eosinophilia are consumed, should alert the physician to an entity known as gnathostomiasis, a parasitic infection caused by the third larva of the nematode Gnathostoma spp, usually seen in tropical and subtropical areas. It mainly affects the skin, and from there, you can migrate to deeper tissues, reaching compromise organs like lungs, eyes, ears, gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts, and less frequent central nervous system. For a patient with three-day box consisting in high swelling, redness, warmth, itching and pain in the left pectoral region, with the subsequent formation of vesicle on the initial injury linear path and an erythematous indurated occurs on the teat left; after consumption of shrimp on the Colombian coast. With the epidemiological history, clinical and histological findings were diagnosed as gnathostomiasis, management began with albendazole presenting picture resolution.

ABSTRACT

El síndrome febril prolongado (SFP) se define en pediatría como la presencia de un episodio febril de al menos 7-10 días de evolución sin diagnóstico etiológico pese a un estudio inicial completo. La etiología más frecuente es la infecciosa, seguida por causas inmunoreumatológicas y neoplásicas. En la mayoría de los casos la evolución suele ser benigna y autolimitada, sin embargo una minoría presenta una causa subyacente con pronóstico sombrío, determinando necesidad de un estudio sistematizado. Objetivo: Presentar caso clínico de un escolar con SFP asociado a paniculitis y enfatizar importancia de estudio secuencial de SFP para pesquisar pacientes que requieren intervención oportuna. Caso clínico: Escolar de sexo masculino, 10 años de edad, previamente sano, quien consultó por cuadro de 2 meses de evolución, caracterizado por aparición de lesiones nodulares en abdomen y extremidades, poco sintomáticas, asociado a fiebre prolongada. Se hospitalizó para estudio, descartando causa infecciosa y reumatológica. Se confirmó diagnóstico de linfoma paniculítico de células T mediante biopsia y análisis histológico e inmunohistoquímico de las lesiones. Conclusiones: Al diagnosticar SFP se debe descartar causas más prevalentes (infecciosa) y luego plantear como diagnóstico diferencial etiología reumatológica y neoplásica. Si SFP se asocia a lesiones elementales nodulares, plantear precozmente la biopsia de modo de pesquisar potencial causa maligna y evitar retraso terapéutico.


Fever of unknown origin (FUO) is defined as fever over 7 to 10 days without a diagnosis despite a complete initial study. The most frequent causes are infections, autoimmune and tumors. Even though most cases are self-limited there is a minority that has an underlying etiology with an ominous forecast, encouraging a systematized study. Objective: To report a rare case of a boy who presented fever of unknown origin associated to panniculitis and was diagnosed of subcutaneous panniculitis-like-T cell lymphoma and to emphasis the importance of a sequential study of FUO, in order to reach a diagnosis in patients who need a timely intervention. Clinical case: A ten year old boy, previously healthy, presented subcutaneous nodular lesions of 2 month of evolution, located in abdominal region and extremities, given few symptoms, associated with prolonged fever. He was hospitalized for proper study, in first instance infectious and immune causes were discarded and through lesions biopsy the diagnose of subcutaneous panniculitis-like-T cell lymphoma was reached. Conclusion: When FUO is diagnosed, most prevalent causes must be discarded. Then, differential diagnosis, such as immune and neoplasic etiologies, have to be considered. If FUO is associated to elemental nodular lesions, biopsy must be indicated early, in order to find potential malignant cases, avoiding therapeutic delay.

ABSTRACT

La paniculitis epiploica aislada es una entidad rara, mayormente observada en los adultos. Se presenta con inflamación del tejido adiposo del epiplón. Los síntomas varían entre manifestaciones locales (por ejemplo, dolor a la palpación abdominal o una masa palpable) y sistémicas, que incluyen dolor abdominal, dolor de espalda, fiebre, descenso de peso y trastornos intestinales. Presentamos este caso como una primera acción de sensibilización respecto de un caso de paniculitis epiploica en un niño, afección que debe tenerse en cuenta en el diagnóstico diferencial del íleo a fin de evitar cirugías innecesarias.


Isolated omental panniculitis is a rare entity mostly seen in adults. It presents with the inflammation of the fatty tissue of the omentum. The symptoms may vary from local (e.g. abdominal tenderness or palpable mass) to systemic manifestations including abdominal pain, back pain, fever, weight loss and bowel disturbances. We presented this case as a first awareness of omental panniculitis in a child which must be kept in mind at the differential diagnosis of ileus so that unnecessary surgeries might be avoided.

ABSTRACT

El eritema nudoso es una reacción cutánea considerada una respuesta inmunológica inespecífica, determinada por un amplio espectro de agentes etiológicos, siendo el idiopático el tipo más frecuente. Presenta mayor incidencia en mujeres y en las estaciones de primavera e invierno. Pertenece al grupo de las paniculitis y consiste en la aparición de nódulos agudos dolorosos en superficies de extensión de las piernas. La sintomatología asociada incluye fiebre, malestar general, diarrea, cefalea, conjuntivitis, tos, mialgias y artralgias. Para establecer un tratamiento adecuado, es importante identificar y tratar las enfermedades o infecciones asociadas. El resto del tratamiento es sintomático e incluye medidas generales y antiinflamatorios. Estas lesiones no dejan cicatrices y el pronóstico es excelente en la mayoría de los pacientes tratados. Se presentó el caso de un hombre de 54 años de edad, cuya patología tegumentaria está asociada a un lupus eritematoso sistémico, con una evolución satisfactoria.


The erythema nodosum is a cutaneous reaction considered an unspecific immunologic answer, determined by a wide range of etiologic agents, being the idiopathic type the most frequent one. It has more incidences in women and in spring and winter times. It belongs to the group of the panniculitis and is the apparition of painful acute nodules in extension surfaces of the legs. The associated symptoms include fever, general malaise, diarrhea, headache, conjunctivitis, cough, myalgia and arthralgia. Identifying and treating the associated diseases and infections is important to establish an adequate treatment. The rest of the treatment is symptomatic and includes anti-inflammatory and general measures. These lesions do not leave scars and the prognosis is excellent in most of the treated patients. The case of a male patient aged 54 years was presented; his tegumental pathology was associated to a systemic lupus erythematosus with a satisfactory evolution.

ABSTRACT

Mesenteric panniculitis is a condition characterized by chronic nonspecific inflammation of the mesentery. There is little and often confusing information about its characteristics and the approach to take once it has been demonstrated by an imaging test. We propose to describe the epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, radiological and pathological features of the patients with mesenteric panniculitis reported in the literature, as well as possible disorders causal or associated with mesenteric panniculitis, in the opinion of the authors of each study. Finally, we will review the different therapeutic options used and the response to them. To that end a literature search was performed from the main medical databases selecting ítems with information on these aspects. This information was collected on a database stored in SPSS software for further analysis and summary.
