We describe the case of a 38-year-old female patient with a history of lupus presenting with atraumatic abdominal pain and ecchymosis. The ultimate diagnosis of abdominal lupus erythematous panniculitis was determined based on physical exam and imaging findings.
Lupus erythematous panniculitis is a rare diagnosis, but consideration is important as early recognition and treatment is important to reduce pain and lessen the possibility of irreversible disfigurement and unnecessary costs to affected patients.
我们描述了一位38岁有狼疮病史的女性患者,她出现了非创伤性腹痛和瘀斑。根据体格检查和影像学检查结果,最终诊断为腹部红斑狼疮性脂膜炎。
红斑狼疮性脂膜炎是一种罕见的诊断,但鉴于早期识别和治疗对于减轻疼痛、降低受影响患者出现不可逆毁容的可能性以及减少不必要的费用非常重要,因此需要予以考虑。
