Panniculitis in a patient on methotrexate for mixed connective tissue disease.
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.
