Abstract
- Sclerosing panniculitis is a subcutaneous disorder characterized by marked woody induration, erythema, edema, telangiectasia, and hyperpigmentation on the lower legs. It often occurs in patients who have venous insufficiency. The histologic features of sclerosing panniculitis are lobular panniculitis with membranocystic fat necrosis and variable septal fibrosis. We report a case of sclerosing panniculitis on the medial side of the left lower leg in a 51-year-old woman.
