17. Dermal Panniculitis pattern



The last reaction pattern I want you to look at is the Panniculitic pattern where you have damage to the fat layer either as a septal panniculitis with inflammation centred on the vessels in the septae between the fat lobules or a lobular panniculitis where most of the inflammation is centred on the fat lobules themselves. In reality there is often a bit of an overlap!
