Thalidomide treatment of prurigo nodularis.

Four patients with classic recalcitrant prurigo nodularis had symptomatic and physical responses to thalidomide with remissions. Three of the four patients had increased IgE levels that decreased during therapy. In two patients, short-term treatment (2 to 3 months) was not sufficient to produce remission, but retreatment was effective. Two patients had long-term remission with more than 6 months of treatment. No significant side effects occurred.

Connective tissue panniculitis.

Two patients with lobular lymphohistiocytic panniculitis had chronic lesions that produced subcutaneous atrophy and that were responsive to antimalarial drugs. Massive lymphocytic infiltrate was associated with caseation necrosis of the fat lobules. In both patients, an unusual antibody to extractable nuclear antigen was seen, and antinuclear antibody was sometimes present. The unusual manifestation, course of the disease, serologic findings, and response to therapy suggest that the panniculitis is related to (but does not evolve into) lupus erythematosus panniculitis or subcutaneous morphea or both. A satisfactory term for this entity would be "connective tissue panniculitis."
