What are the Histological Features of Lobular Panniculitis?
In lobular panniculitis, the primary inflammatory process involves the fat lobules. Histological examination often shows a mixture of inflammatory cells including lymphocytes, histiocytes, and giant cells. The presence of fat necrosis and lipophagic granulomas is common. An example of lobular panniculitis is pancreatic panniculitis, where the release of pancreatic enzymes leads to fat necrosis and inflammation.
