Abstract

T-cell lymphoma mimicking subcutaneous panniculitis is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, also known as subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL). Literatures describe SPTCL as a distinct type of T-cell lymphoma with a variable clinical behaviour, depending on molecular phenotype of T-cell receptor (TCR) and on the presence or absence of haemophagocytic syndrome. We report the first case detected and confirmed by immunohistochemistry which was diagnosed earlier as subcutaneous panniculitis.
