Abstract
Weber-Christian disease is an idiopathic disorder characterized by nonsuppurative nodular panniculitis with a lobular distribution of acute inflammation in the subcutaneous fat with occasional systemic involvement. Although the histopathologic features of the liver disease in the syndrome are characterized by steatohepatitis, the clinical features have not been well defined. We report a case of hepatic Weber-Christian disease and discuss the clinical differences from steatohepatitis due to the more common disorders of obesity and diabetes mellitus.
