Severe abdominal panniculitis in a patient treated with continuous subcutaneous apomorphine infusion

We are reporting the case of a 53-year-old patient with a 10-year history of PD admitted at our Hospital after multiple masses localized in his abdominal wall. His previous records were unremarkable besides past treated syphilis. He had been initially treated with levodopa/benserazide and dopamine agonists, although the latter had to be discontinued due to impulse control disorder that subsequently resolved. Over time, he required continuous subcutaneous apomorphine infusion (CSAI) due to intractable motor fluctuations.
