Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Inflammatory plaques on the lower extremities can present with diverse histopathological findings.
  • Conditions like hypodermitis sclerodermaformis and lipodermatosclerosis share overlapping clinical and histological features.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a cohort of patients with a specific type of inflammatory lower extremity plaque.
  • To propose a unifying term for conditions characterized by fat necrosis, sclerosis, and lobular panniculitis.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical description of six patients with lower extremity inflammatory plaques.
  • Histopathological analysis of incisional biopsy specimens.

Main Results:

  • Biopsies revealed characteristic findings of fat necrosis, sclerosis, and lobular panniculitis.

  • The described patients exhibited similarities to those previously reported as hypodermitis sclerodermaformis or lipodermatosclerosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • A new unifying term, sclerosing panniculitis, is proposed for these histopathological findings.
    • The exact cause of sclerosing panniculitis remains unknown, though venous stasis is a potential factor.
    • Anti-inflammatory treatments have not demonstrated clinical efficacy.
