'''Cytophagic Histiocytic Panniculitis''' ('''CHP''') was first described in 1980 by Winkelmann as a chronic [[histiocytic]] disease of the [[subcutaneous]] [[adipose tissue]], which is characterized clinically by tender [[erythematous]] [[nodules]], recurrent high [[fever]], [[malaise]], [[jaundice]], [[organomegaly]], [[serosal]] effusions, [[pancytopenia]], [[hepatic]] dysfunction and [[coagulatory]] abnormalities.<ref>Winkelmann RK, Bowie EJ. Hemorrhagic diathesis associated with benign histiocytic cytophagic panniculitis and systemic histiocytosis. Arch Intern Med.1980; 140: 1460-3</ref> CHP may occur either isolated or as part of cutaneous manifestations of [[Hemophagocytic syndrome]] (HPS).<ref>Smith K J, Skeleton H J, Yeagre J, Angritt P, Wagner K, James W. D., Giblin W. J., Lupton G. P. Cutaneous histopathological, immunohistochemical, and clinical manifestations inpatients with hemophagocytic syndrome. Military Medical Consortium for Applied Retroviral Research (MMCARR). Arch Dermatol 1992; 128: 193-200</ref> CHP is a rare and often fatal form of [[panniculitis]] with multisystem involvement. But it can also present in a benign form involving only the subcutaneous tissue, thus having a broad clinical spectrum. |
