Eosinophilic panniculitis (EP) is characterized by prominent infiltration of subcutaneous fat with eosinophils. The etiology is diverse. This is not a disease but represents a reaction pattern that may occur in a variety of circumstances. The exact pathogenesis of the disease is still unclear. We present the case of a 6-year-old girl child who was diagnosed with EP.

Article Synopsis
- Recent studies on the histopathology of erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) are lacking, which this research aims to address by describing its histopathological characteristics.
- A total of 125 biopsies were analyzed, revealing various infiltration patterns with the most common being a well-defined dermal infiltrate, observed in over half of the samples, along with varying degrees of subcutaneous tissue involvement.
- The findings highlighted the presence of immune cells like neutrophils and foamy histiocytes, with some cases showing acid-fast bacilli using specific staining techniques, although limitations included the retrospective nature of the study which hindered comparisons with clinical characteristics.

Background: Cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis (CHP) is a rare panniculitis associated with systemic features characterized by the infiltration of subcutaneous adipose tissue by benign-appearing T lymphocytes and phagocytic histiocytes, mimicking hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL).
Purpose: To establish the clinicopathological features and response to treatment of CHP and evaluate the prognosis of patients and guide therapy based on the current state of knowledge.
Material And Methods: Clinical, laboratory, histopathological, and outcome data of 12 patients with CHP were retrospectively collected between 2009 and 2022.
