Resum
Introduction Erythema nodosum (EN) is a septal panniculitis, which presents with subcutaneous, erythematous and painful nodules in anterior zone of lower limbs. EN resolves spontaneously and without scarring within 2-8 weeks. It is more frequent in women and at any age. Aetiology It is classified by its aetiology as idiopathic or induced, by pregnancy, infections, drugs or systemic diseases, being the most frequent sarcoidosis. Diagnostic process The appearance of EN should be considered a sign that will force to the clinician to consider a broad differential diagnosis and exclude possible etiological causes through a proper anamnesis, physical examination and radiological and laboratory tests.
