Subcutaneous Panniculitis like T cell Lymphoma: A case report


Abstract

Sub cutaneous panniculitis like T- cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a distinct cutaneous T- cell lymphoma characterized by primary involvement of the subcutaneous fat in a manner mimicking panniculitis. We report here a 32 years old male presenting with multiple painful sub cutaneous nodules over extremities and trunk which later healed with atrophic patches. The histopathological finding from the nodules were dense infiltration of atypical lymphoid cells and medium size vessel vasculitis. Immunohistochemistry report showed LCA (CD 45) positive, CD 3 positive, CD4 positive, CD8 positive and CD 20 negative and Cd 56 negative.

Keywords: Panniculitis, T- cell lymphoma, Immunohistochemistry.
