폐결핵을 동반한 호산구성 지방층염 1예

Abstract

Eosinophilic panniculitis is a rare form of panniculitis that has a unique reaction pattern in the subcutis. It may be associated with inflammatory and immune reactive diseases. An 11-year-old boy was presented with tender subcutaneous nodules and plaques on the lower legs. Also he was given a diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis with the laboratory evidence of recent streptococcal infection. The pathologic findings of the lesion showed massive infiltration of eosinophils in the subcutis and a few flame figure in the dermal subcutaneous junction. Cutaneous lesions were cleared with KI in a week and he was treated with antituberculosis medications for 1 year. Until now, there has been no relapse of skin lesions.
