Abstract |
Weber-Christian disease is a relapsing febrile nodular nonsuppurative inflammation of the subcuta-
neous fat tissue. We experianced a case of Weber-Christian disease. The patient was a 10-year-old girl
with the complaints of fever, malaise and erythematous painful nodules on extremities, trunk and
back. The diagnosis was based on the clinical pictures and the histologic findings. Oral prednisolone
therapy was tried and the response occurred promptly.
A brief review of related literatures was made. |
