title: Panniculitis in a patient on methotrexate for mixed connective tissue disease.
abstract: Accelerated nodulosis during methotrexate therapy for rheumatoid arthritis has been well described. There have been recent reports of nodulosis in patients on methotrexate for other inflammatory conditions. Panniculitis is a newly discovered pathological entity in this setting. We describe a case of panniculitis in a woman receiving methotrexate for mixed connective tissue disease.
