Abstract:
Panniculitis is an inflammatory disorder of the subcutaneous fat, whose diagnosis and classification relies on histologic features, mainly the location of the subcutaneous inflammatory infiltrate (septal, lobular, mixed or vascular) [1]. In the setting of lobular panniculitis in which the inflammation predominantly involves the fat lobules, there is neutrophilic panniculitis (NP), a rare condition that belongs to the group of neutrophilic dermatoses [2]. Clinically, NP manifests as a subcutaneous nodular eruption and, histologically, shows a lobular infiltrate mainly consisting of neutrophils [3–7]. NP has been reported to be significantly associated with myelodysplasia, which is a well-known association for neutrophilic dermatoses in general [3–7]. From a therapeutic point of view, it is regarded as highly sensitive to oral corticosteroids, similarly to Sweet’s syndrome [2]. In this chapter, the clinical and histological features of NP are described, with emphasis on the differential diagnosis from the main panniculitides sharing a neutrophilic histological pattern.
