Abstract

Eosinophilic panniculitis(EP) is characterized by a prominent infiltration of subcutaneous fat with eosinophils. However, EP is a histopathologic pattern or reactive process rather than a distinct disease entity. It has been identified in patients who have a variety of associated clinical conditions. We report a case of a 37-year-old woman with EP on her abdominal region. Due to the pertinent clinical and laboratory investigation to rule out an accompanied systemic process, we found nodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Although there have been several reports about the cases of EP in Korea, until now no case of EP accompanied with nodal lymphoma had yet been reported.
