Connective tissue lipoatrophic panniculitis.
A 23 years old girl with a past history of sero-positive oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis developed nodules and depressed scars over face and limbs. Biopsy from the lesion revealed mixed panniculitis. She responded to steroids and hydroxychloroquine but has residual lipoatrophic scars needing reconstructive surgery.
