Abstract
Only two cases have been reported of panniculitis induced by subcutaneous beta interferon injection. Clinically, such cases may mimic infectious processes. The present cases show that MRI may be useful in diagnosis and that the vascular toxicity of interferon beta probably plays a role in panniculitis. Temporary withdrawal of treatment, rotation of several injection sites and alternative routes of administration may all be proposed.
