Known are only sporadic cases of a long-term (more than 5-year) followup of patients with Weber–Christian disease. For this reason, there are neither prognostic criteria for the disease no proven conventional treatment option now. The paper describes a clinical case of a female patient with a verified diagnosis of Weber–Christian disease who has a sustained subclinical remission due to low-dose prednisone use and basic antirecurrent therapy.
