Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T cell lymphoma in children. Case report and literature review.

Abstract

Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare peripheral T cell lymphoma presenting with tender nodules. We report a case of a 5-year-old boy who presented with tender nodules, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly and pancytopenia and was treated with oral corticosteroids and cyclosporine. The report highlights the rarity of this case, associated features and response to corticosteroids and cyclosporine.
