Article Abstract
Background/objectives: Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare and aggressive cutaneous lymphoma, often misdiagnosed due to nonspecific clinical features. Early diagnosis and treatment remain challenging.
Methods: We report the case of a 31-year-old female with a chronic non-healing gluteal wound initially treated as an abscess. The lack of improvement prompted repeated investigations, culminating in the diagnosis of SPTCL with an alpha-beta T-cell phenotype.
Results: Management involved combined chemotherapy and surgical wound reconstruction. Six cycles of CHOEP-21 chemotherapy led to complete clinical remission. A soft tissue defect superinfected with multidrug-resistant organisms was successfully reconstructed using Integra Dermal Regeneration Template followed by split-thickness skin grafting.
Conclusions: This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of SPTCL and the therapeutic potential of dermal matrix application in complex wound management, especially in immuno-compromised patients.

Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare primary cutaneous lymphoma derived from cytotoxic αβ T cells, clinically and histopathologically resembling inflammatory diseases of adipose tissue, particularly lupus panniculitis. It accounts for <1% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, with approximately 20% of cases occurring in children. The main aim of this paper was to present two pediatric cases of SPTCL, highlighting the diagnostic challenges involved.

Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a very rare subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. It is characterized by the neoplastic infiltration of subcutaneous adipose tissue. Its clinical presentation, including subcutaneous nodules, fever, and systemic symptoms, often mimics inflammatory panniculitis, making diagnosis difficult.

Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma is a rare type of T-cell lymphoma that causes multiple painless subcutaneous nodules over the body. Patients with subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma may develop facial lipoatrophy that causes disfigurement. We report the case of a 53-year-old female patient with subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma and severe facial lipoatrophy who underwent three sessions of autologous fat grafting.

The association between autoimmune diseases and lymphoproliferative disorders is well established. It is also recognized that the skin and deep subcutaneous tissue can be affected by lymphocytic infiltrates in autoimmune diseases, a hallmark of lupus erythematosus profundus or lupus panniculitis (LP).

A young pregnant woman in her 20s presented with a 2 month history of high-grade intermittent fever. She exhibited multiple painful nodules scattered across her body for 2 months, initially small but progressively increasing in size. Initially diagnosed with Sweet syndrome, a skin biopsy revealed subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma, confirmed through immunohistochemistry analysis.
