Erythema nodosum and erythema induratum (nodular vasculitis): diagnosis and management

Abstract: Erythema nodosum is the most common type of panniculitis; it may be due to a variety of underlying infectious or otherwise antigenic stimuli. The pathogenesis remains to be elucidated, but both neutrophilic inflammation and granulomatous inflammation are implicated. Beyond treating underlying triggers, therapeutic options consist mainly of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, symptomatic care, potassium iodide, and colchicine. Erythema induratum (nodular vasculitis) is a related but distinctly different clini… Show more

“…It typically presents as tender, warm, erythematous subcutaneous nodules on pretibial areas and evolves into bruise‐like, nonscarring lesions over 2‐8 weeks. EN is often accompanied by fever, malaise, arthritis, and arthralgia, which can occur as a prodrome prior to cutaneous manifestation 7, 10. This condition is more common in younger women during the second and fourth decades of life 10…”

“…The pathogenesis of EN is still poorly understood, and 72% of cases are still classified as idiopathic 7, 8, 10. It has been hypothesized that activated neutrophils play a key role in causing the characteristic tissue inflammation 7, 10, 11, 12.…”
