This article clarifies inflammatory subcutaneous tissue disorders by classifying panniculitis based on histopathology and clinical features. It highlights erythema nodosum as a common starting point for diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Classification of subcutaneous inflammatory disorders (panniculitis) is challenging due to overlapping features.
  • Lack of specific treatments complicates diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a clear classification system for panniculitis.
  • To describe key clinical findings of common panniculitis forms.

Main Methods:

  • Histopathologic classification based on septal or lobular patterns and presence/absence of vasculitis.
  • Review of clinical findings for major panniculitis types.

Main Results:

  • Panniculitis classified into four main histopathologic patterns: septal without vasculitis, septal with vasculitis, lobular without vasculitis, and lobular with vasculitis.

  • Erythema nodosum identified as the most frequent form, serving as a crucial initial diagnostic consideration.

    • Conclusions:

    • A histopathologic classification aids in understanding and diagnosing panniculitis.
    • Considering erythema nodosum early simplifies the differential diagnosis of subcutaneous inflammatory conditions.
