John H Vassall II
PMCID: PMC2561865  PMID: 3157006

Abstract

The etiology of Weber-Christian panniculitis is unknown. A case is presented in which an association is found between immune complex glomerulonephritis and a relapse of Weber-Christian panniculitis. This case adds to the literature, implicating immune system dysfunction in the pathophysiology of this disease.
