'''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]] [[Nodule (medicine)|nodules]], recurrent high [[fever]], [[malaise]], [[jaundice]], [[organomegaly]], [[serosal]] effusions, [[pancytopenia]], [[hepatic]] dysfunction and [[Coagulation]] abnormalities.<ref>Winkelmann RK, Bowie EJ.

But it can also present in a benign form involving only the subcutaneous tissue, thus having a broad clinical spectrum.
