He had multiple pea-nut to bean sized subcutaneous nodules with dark brownish colored overlying skin was present on the upper arm; trunk & gluteal area. He had no history of LE 8z other systemic disease. Histologically; deep dermis & subcutaneous layer had dense patch lymphocytic infiltration and homogenized hyaline fat necrosis.
