Abstract


Cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis (CHP) is a rare subtype of panniculitis that usually follows a fatal course, with a terminal hemophagocytic syndrome. We observed a case of pancytopenia, generalized lymphadenopathy and panniculitis, which on subsequent investigations (skin biopsy and bone marrow biopsy) revealed hemophagocytic and cytophagocytic picture.
