Abstract:
T-cell lymphomas primarily involving subcutaneous tissue and minicking panniculitis have rarely been described. In addition, some cases may have been orviously reported as malignant histiocytosis. Some of the affected patients have developed a hemohagocytic syndrome. A 44-year-old wornan showed multiple, recurrent, ill-defined, sarble sized, erythematous, tender subcutnaeous nodules on the trunk and extremities. Histopathological findings levealed the infiltration of hyperchrorriatiatypical large lymphocytes and nurnerous beanbag-like cells in the subcutaneous fat. The infitrted cells were positively stained with Leucocyte common antigen, UCHL-1 antigen, Lysozyme, that ot with CD20. Bone marrow biopsy showed mild erythreid hyperplasia and erythorophagocytic. hitiocytes. These histopathological features were consistent with cutnaeous T cell lymphoma involvnig the subcutaneous tissue.
