Abatacept-induced panniculitis in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis

Introduction: Less than 10 cases of cutaneous panniculitides have been reported as adverse reactions to abatacept, with the most common reactions associated with oral contraceptives, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, antibiotics, and leukotriene-modifying agents. It is vital to recognize panniculitis drug reactions in rheumatologic patients for their future treatment options and the current understanding of cutaneous panniculitides associated with medications.
