“…12 Although the frequency varies from some geographic areas to others, in many countries tuberculosis is still the main causative factor for erythema induratum of Bazin. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] In contrast, in those countries with low prevalence of tuberculosis, this type of panniculitis may be a reactive process as a result of other causative factors such as obesity, cold climate, chronic venous insufficiency, or history of thrombophlebitis of the lower limbs.…”

Erythema Induratum of Bazin (EIB) is a tuberculid showing lobular panniculitis. EIB is classified under cutaneous tuberculosis. A diagnosis of EIB is based on cutaneous characteristics, a positive mantoux test, evidence of tuberculosis and histopathological findings. We present a case of a 43-year-old lady with recurrent crops of nodules on legs. Mantoux test was positive. Histopathology revealed lobular panniculitis, epithelioid cells, lymphocytes and giant cells surrounding foci of caseous necrosis which was suggestive of erythema induratum. Her lesions responded to antitubercular therapy (ATT). Ó 2014 Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of King Saud University.
