Abstract
Cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis is a chronic histiocytic disease of the subcutaneous adipose tissue characterised by lobular panniculitis with histiocytes containing blood cell fragments. It is also associated with marked systemic features such as fever, pancytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly, liver abnormalities and coagulopathy. We report a case of cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis in a 74-year-old man successfully treated using combination therapy with prednisolone and cyclosporine A.Entities:
