Cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis

Cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis

Cytophagic Histiocytic Panniculitis (CHP) was first described in 1980 by Winkelmann as a chronic histiocytic disease of the subcutaneous adipose tissue, which is characterized clinically by tender erythematous nodules, recurrent high fever, malaise, jaundice, organomegaly, serosal effusions, pancytopenia, hepatic dysfunction and Coagulation abnormalities.[1][2]:494 CHP may occur either isolated or as part of cutaneous manifestations of Hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS).[3] CHP is a rare and often fatal form of panniculitis with multisystem involvement. But it can also present in a benign form involving only the subcutaneous tissue, thus having a broad clinical spectrum.
