Abstract

Weber-Christian syndrome is a systemic disease, characterized by a lobular panniculitis of a fatty tissue with possible damage to internal organs. Weber-Christian syndrome refers to a rare pathology that causes difficulties in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. The article describes a case of Weber-Christian syndrome in a 42-year-old female patient who was suffering from this disease for 2 years, being treated for recurrent thrombophlebitis.
