42-year old patient was presented to our clinic with a fever lasting for seven months and a ten month history of subcutaneous nodules on all extremities and trunk. Further examination revealed anaemia, lymphocytopenia and elevation of inflammatory parameters and liver enzymes. Authors comment their difficulties in differential diagnostic process. The bone marrow biopsy and reappraisal of subcutaneous lesions confirmed idiopathic lobular panniculitis, known as Weber-Christian disease. A combined immunosuppressive therapy was followed by improvement of clinical state as well as laboratory parameters (Tab. 2, Fig. 3, Ref. 11).
