ABSTRACT
@#Subcutaneous Panniculitis-like T-cell Lymphoma (SPTL) is a rare cutaneous neoplasm of mature cytotoxic T cells, first described in 1991 by Gonzalez et al. 1 The incidence of SPTL in Asian countries ranges from 2.3% to 3%. In Malaysia, only 5 cases were reported from 2001 to 2004 in Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 2 SPTL typically presents as skincoloured or erythematous subcutaneous nodules, most often on the extremities and trunk, but it can also involve the face, back and neck. Diagnosis of SPTL is made based on correlation of clinical findings and subcutaneous tissue biopsy along with immunohistochemical staining patterns
