Review
Traumatic panniculitis refers to changes in the subcutaneous fat related to physical or chemical agents. The clinical picture of traumatic panniculitis is nonspecific. Cutaneous lesions are indurated, warm, red, subcutaneous plaques or nodules not necessary related to the intensity of the injury. The histologic picture includes fat microcysts surrounded by histiocytes, collections of foam cells, and inflammatory cells. Late lesions may show fibrosis, lipomembranous changes, or dystrophic calcic deposits. Traumatic panniculitis is usually a self-limiting disorder and requires only symptomatic treatment.

Review
Lupus erythematosus panniculitis is an uncommon variant of lupus erythematosus characterized by a specific involvement of the subcutaneous fat. It is a panniculitis with peculiar clinical features and histopathologically characterized by a mostly lobular panniculitis. It may appear in patients with discoid lupus erythematosus and systemic lupus erythematosus, but also as the unique manifestation of lupus erythematosus, and in the latter cases the diagnosis may be problematic. Histopathologic differential diagnosis with subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma may also be extremely difficult. This article reviews the salient clinicopathologic features and treatment of lupus erythematosus panniculitis, with special emphasis on the histopathologic features.

Pancreatic panniculitis (PP) is an infrequent manifestation of pancreatic pathology (2%). This condition has mainly been described in association with acute and chronic pancreatitis, in males aged 40-60 years with chronic alcoholism, as was the case of this patient. However, it might also be the outset manifestation of a pancreatic neoplasm.

Review
LE panniculitis is an uncommon but distinctive subset of LE. It may develop in patients with discoid LE or SLE or may occur as an isolated phenomenon. The typical clinical presentation is that of multiple indurated nodules or plaques (or both), often associated with lipoatrophy, there being a predilection for the proximal extremities and trunk. Because the clinical and histologic findings of LE panniculitis overlap with those of other connective tissue diseases, evaluation of patients suspected of having LE panniculitis should include a complete history and physical examination as well as serologic studies, determination of peripheral blood counts, and tests of renal function. A deep excisional biopsy rather than punch biopsy should be performed for diagnosis. The characteristic histologic pattern includes hyaline necrosis of fat; lymphoid nodules, often with germinal centers; and lymphocytic lobular panniculitis. Direct immunofluorescence testing of skin may help confirm the diagnosis in patients who have less than classic histologic features. LE panniculitis tends to have a chronic course marked by recurrent nodules or plaques (or both). Antimalarial agents, with or without courses of systemic steroids, are beneficial in most patients.

Review
Neutrophilic (lobular) panniculitis (NP) is a very rare condition that belongs to the group of neutrophilic dermatoses. We report the case of a patient with NP and review the relevant literature. NP appears as a subcutaneous nodular eruption. Histology shows a lobular neutrophilic infiltrate. NP must be differentiated from other types of panniculitis, and also from the subcutaneous septal involvement that may occur in some cases of Sweet's syndrome and from erythema nodosum. NP is significantly associated with myelodysplasia. It is highly sensitive to oral steroid therapy.
