title: [Recurrent nodular panniculitis in hereditary alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Hereditary alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency may be very rarely associated with chronic panniculitis and is therefore often diagnosed only with delay.
  
  
  METHODS
  The typical clinical features of the disease are described in a 37-year-old woman. This case underlines the importance of determining alpha 1-antitrypsin levels in patients with chronic relapsing panniculitis. Therapeutic approaches are discussed.
