Abstract
The case of a 10-year-old girl with an infrequently observed lipid dermatoarthritis is reported. This is a systemic disease of unknown etiology characterized by a nodular eruption of the skin, mucosa and synovia, resulting in destructive arthritis and disfigurement of the facies. Biopsy of a nodule, whether from skin or synovia, discloses a cellular infiltrate consisting of histiocytes and multinucleated giant cells with lipid inclusions. No effective treatment is known.Entities:
