A Rare and Aggressive, Subcutaneous Panniculitis-like T-cell Cutaneous Lymphoma
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a distinct variant of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, characterized by primary involvement of the subcutaneous tissue in a manner imitating panniculitis. It accounts for less than one percent of all Non Hodgkin lymphoma. A 39 year old male presented with multiple erythematous subcutaneous nodules over upper, lower limbs and trunk for 6 months, few of which gradually increased in size with central ulceration. Histopathology of lesion was suggestive of cutaneous lymphoma. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of subcutaneous panniculitis like T cell lymphoma
