RELAPSING FEBRILE NODULAR NONSUPPURATIVE PANNICULITIS (WEBER-CHRISTIAN DISEASE)

RELAPSING FEBRILE NODULAR NONSUPPURATIVE PANNICULITIS (WEBER-CHRISTIAN DISEASE) Relapsing febrile nodular nonsuppurative panniculitis (Weber-Christian disease) is characterized by recurring bouts of fever, associated with the appearance of crops of nodules, varying from the size of a pea to several centimeters in diameter, usually on the thighs and arms, frequently on the abdomen and back and occasionally on the lower part of the legs. The nodules, which may be either painless or somewhat tender to touch, are erythematous and raised above the surface of the normal skin. Over a period of a few months they slowly regress, leaving shallow or deep pitted areas covered by normal skin. Twenty-seven cases have been reported, the majority of the patients being adults, 22 women and girls and 5 men. The 4 children with the disease previously reported on have been girls1 8 to 11 years of age, and their illness lasted two to twelve months.

Abstract

Relapsing febrile nodular nonsuppurative panniculitis (Weber-Christian disease) is characterized by recurring bouts of fever, associated with the appearance of crops of nodules, varying from the size of a pea to several centimeters in diameter, usually on the thighs and arms, frequently on the abdomen and back and occasionally on the lower part of the legs. The nodules, which may be either painless or somewhat tender to touch, are erythematous and raised above the surface of the normal skin. Over a period of a few months they slowly regress, leaving shallow or deep pitted areas covered by normal skin. Twenty-seven cases have been reported, the majority of the patients being adults, 22 women and girls and 5 men. The 4 children with the disease previously reported on have been girls1 8 to 11 years of age, and their illness lasted two to twelve months. The case presented is the first
