Annular atrophic connective tissue panniculitis of the ankles.
A case of annular lipoatrophy of the ankles in a 4-year-old girl is presented. Histologically a lobular lymphohistiocytic panniculitis with masses of foam cells was present. This pattern resembles that seen in atrophic connective tissue panniculitis. The patient responded to treatment with prednisone and dapsone and now has residual lipoatrophy.
