| metadata.dc.description.other-abstract: | Erythema nodosum is the most common type of panniculitis. While previous studies suggest histopathological features can distinguish its types, no data exists for the Institute of Dermatology, Thailand. This study investigates the clinical and histopathological features of 42 adult patients diagnosed with erythema nodosum confirmed by skin biopsies, using electronic medical records from 2017 to 2022. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to compare primary and secondary erythema nodosum. The study found that the pretibial area was the most common lesion site (64.3%). Most cases (81%) had bilateral limb involvement. A majority (76.2%) were idiopathic. Among secondary erythema nodosum cases, 11.9% had underlying infections, with 9.5% of these cases diagnosed with tuberculosis. No significant differences in histopathologic features were observed between the types. Mixed septal and lobular panniculitis was present in 88.1% of cases, likely due to late-stage biopsies. To improve statistical significance, expanding the sample size over a longer period is recommended |
