Background: Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma associated with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)/HLH-like systemic illnesses and germline HAVCR2 mutations. Although previous studies suggested successful treatment of SPTCL with immunosuppressive therapy (IST) without chemotherapy, IST data in pediatric SPTCL remain scarce. To explore characteristics and therapeutic outcomes, comparing IST-based and chemotherapy-based regimens in pediatric SPTCL, in this retrospective cohort study, patients with SPTCL diagnosed at age ≤20 years during 2007-2023 were enrolled from 6 hematology/oncology centers in Thailand.

The disease presents higher rates of severe clinical features and is associated with unfavorable outcomes. There is still no standard pipeline for molecular characterization of the disease, and no valid predictor gene panel is available worldwide.
