Localized inflammatory reactions in patients with past procedural history of intradermal injections can quickly drive the clinician's attention towards a diagnosis of soft-tissue infection in the context of symptoms such as fever, malaise, and local induration of the adipose panniculus. However, in patients with a long-term history of granulomatous events, a rheumatologic approach must be taken into consideration when the clinical course overwhelms the odds for more conventional diagnoses. In this case, a 39-year-old female patient who underwent bilateral lower limbs intradermal filllers presented with a two-year clinical course of repetitive flares of external bilateral hip tenderness, pain that limits her walking, soft-tissue nodular inflammation, redness, fever and a soft mobile nonpainful right supraclavicular lymphadenopathy.

Panniculitides are a group of inflammatory disorders of the subcutaneous fat that have been reported as a rare complication of both a serine threonine kinase BRAF inhibitor monotherapy and BRAF inhibition in combination with a mitogen activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitor combination therapy used to treat metastatic melanoma. The cutaneous manifestations of BRAF and BRAF/MEK therapies have been well documented, but neutrophilic panniculitis remains a less common complication with fewer case reports. Physician awareness of this complication when following patients on similar targeted therapies can decrease delays in appropriate management.

Introduction: Nodular vasculitis (NV) is a rare form of panniculitis primarily affecting middle-aged females, presenting as painful, sometimes ulcerated nodules on the dorsal lower legs. Erythema induratum of Bazin (EIB) is a form of NV and is considered a manifestation of cutaneous tuberculin hypersensitivity. This retrospective study aims to analyze demographics, clinicopathological findings, laboratory results, and treatment outcomes of NV in a non-TB endemic country.
