Sumario:Lipomembranous panniculitis (LP) is a rare type of fat necrosis characterized by membranocystic alterations. Rare cases of LP associated with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have been reported. We report a case of 66-year-old female patient with a history of PAD who presented with multiple painful, tender, erythematous nodules and ulcers with irregular borders and violaceous edges on both thighs and legs. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of LP. Dermatologists should be aware of this entity when panniculitis is suspected, particularly in patients with vascular disorders.
