AB  - Inflammatory  diseases  of  the  subcutaneous  fat  are  a  heterogenous  group  of  conditions  with  quite  different  etiology  and  pathogenesis.  Panniculitis  may  develop  due  to  infectious  organisms,  a  drug  reaction,  thermal  or  other  physical  injury,  an  autoimmune  phenomenon,  or  as  a  sign  of  metabolic  disease.  The  clinical  presentation  of  panniculitis  in  the  form  of  infiltrated  subcutaneous  nodules  is  often  difficult  to  diagnose  with  specificity.  For  example,  differentiation  of  panniculitis  from  vasculitides  involving  medium-sized  vessels  of  the  subcutaneous  fat  is  clinically  challenging.  Therefore,  interpretation  of  a  biopsy  specimen  has  always  played  an  integral  and  important  role  in  the  diagnosis  of  inflammatory  diseases  of  the  subcutaneous  fat  (Table  11-1).
