Abstract |
Cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis is a chronic, benign, visceral and cutaneous histiocytic (cyto-
phagic) paniculitis, progressing to liver dysfunction, jaundice and a terminal hemorrhagic diathesis.
We have experienced a case of cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis in an 11 year old male who had
developed recurrent fever and subcutaneous nooules since infancy, progressing to liver dysfunction,
jaundice and hemorrhagic diathesis. The noaular biopsy also showed a characteristic histiocytic
panniculitis, such as bean bag cell.
A brief review of literatures was made. |
