Perianal panniculitis is a rare inflammatory condition characterized by painful, tender, and swollen lesions in the perianal region. It can mimic other conditions such as abscesses, fistulas, malignancies, or inflammatory bowel disease. This case reflects on the rarity of Perianal panniculitis and its varied presentations and the importance of considering it in the differential diagnosis of perianal lesions. Furthermore, the case highlights limited literature addressing tools of diagnosis, management, and protocol for long-term follow-up to ensure early identification and appropriate management in case of recurrence. Considering perianal panniculitis in the differential diagnosis is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis and ensure timely treatment.
