ABSTRACT
Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma(SPTL) is a rare cytotoxic T-cell lymphoma of the skin, which preferentially infiltrates subcutaneous tissue. In the World Health Organization(WHO) classification of T-cell and natural killer cell lymphoma it is listed as an example of extranodal lymphoma. We report a case of SPTL in a 31-year-old man, who presented with fever, night sweats, fatigue and three, tender, erythematous, indurated, subcutaneous plaques on the trunk. Typical histologic features of panniculitic infiltration with rimming of fat cells and sparing of the dermis and epidermis were seen. The immunophenotypic studies showed a cytotoxic T-cell phenotype by CD3+, CD8+, TIA-1+, CD20- and CD56-. In situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA was negative.
