Abstract

Self‐induced trauma is a rare cause of panniculitis in adolescents and may be associated with undiagnosed underlying psychological conditions. The condition often poses a diagnostic challenge as patients usually present with non‐specific signs and symptoms, and often a concealed history of self‐induced trauma. Here, we present three adolescent patients with self‐induced traumatic panniculitis. All three patients were repeatedly admitted with non‐specific cutaneous lesions as well as multiple somatic complaints. After extensive evaluation to exclude organic causes, psychiatric assessment eventually revealed underlying psychosomatic disorders as a cause of the self‐induced trauma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
