- Abstract
α1-Antitrypsin deficiency, a relatively frequent mutation in the population, is associated with the development of panlobular emphysema and liver cirrhosis. The deficiency is in rare cases associated with the development of panniculitis, and very differentiated clinical courses have been reported in the literature. We report a case of panniculitis in a patient with α1-antitrypsin deficiency and describe briefly the pathophysiology of the disease and current treatment possibilities.
