Abstrakt: 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.
