    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Rheumatology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Subcutaneous nodules, migratory arthralgia, myalgia, and lymphadenopathy can indicate complex autoimmune conditions.
    • Lupus erythematosus (LE) panniculitis is a specific manifestation of lupus affecting subcutaneous fat.

    Observation:

    • Histopathology revealed massive lobular panniculitis consistent with LE panniculitis.
    • Direct immunofluorescence microscopy showed a positive linear basement membrane zone stain.

    Findings:

    • Initial serology was negative for antinuclear antibody (ANA) and anti-DNA antibodies.
    • A positive ANA test and strongly positive extractable nuclear antigen antibodies developed subsequently.

    Implications:
