Summary : We report a case of lupus erythematosus panniculitis with long-standing systemic lupus erythematosus. The patient developed widespread calcification and membranocystic changes in the subcutaneous tissue. There have been no reports of the coexistence of calcification and membranocystic changes in the literature. The mechanism for the coexistence of the calcification and membranocystic changes might be due to the degenerative changes in fat cells from local circulatory disturbance. |
