Abstract
Tender indurated nodules and plaques are formed in the subcutaneous fat which terminate, after resolution, in atrophy. With the development of new lesions, a febrile reaction occurs with nausea, vomiting and muscular pains. The thighs are mostly involved. The nodules are hard, freely movable, irregular masses. A liquefying type has been described. The treatment is purely symptomatic.
