Dermatomyositis panniculitis: a clinicopathological and immunohistochemical study of 18 cases

“…DM panniculitis was originally described by Weber and Gray, in 1924, who reported a 22‐year‐old woman with DM and painful swellings in the subcutaneous fat of the arm and thigh. Histopathologic examination revealed lobular panniculitis with lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate . Since then, we have found descriptions of 39 cases in the English literature …”

“…Panniculitis is less frequent in DM than in systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic sclerosis, and a review of the literature reveals that most published cases are single case reports . In a series of 55 adult patients with DM and cutaneous lesions studied histopathologically, panniculitis was only found in five cases .…”

In our institution, a referral paediatric hospital, 21 cases of JDM have been diagnosed in the last 12 years, but this is the first case of JDM‐associated panniculitis.…”

Magnetic resonance imaging diagnosis of panniculitis in dermatomyositis

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Dates of diagnosis of panniculitis relative to the onset of dermatomyositis were antecedent in four cases (19.0%), concurrent in five cases (23.8%), and subsequent in 12 cases (57.1%).…”
