Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare condition that falls underneath the umbrella of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs). SPTCL can be very difficult to diagnose as it may mimic other subtypes of CTCL, such as γ/δ T-cell lymphoma (TCL), or other forms of panniculitis. Confirmation of diagnosis often requires immunohistochemical analysis and is essential for proper prognosis and therapeutic management. Herein, we present a case of SPTCL that mimicked lupus panniculitis and was successfully treated with prednisone taper and methotrexate.

Wound care of Sweet syndrome in a patient with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma: a case report.
J Wound Care
January 2025
The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, 510405, Guangzhou, China.
Sweet syndrome (SS), which is characterised by fever and erythematous tender skin lesions, has been shown to be associated with lymphoma. However, there are limited reported experiences on the wound care of SS in patients with lymphoma. This case report presents the wound care of SS in a patient with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALK+ALCL).

Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a complex skin cancer that includes Mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome, making accurate diagnosis and severity assessment essential for effective treatment.
- A study involving 16 dermatology residents showed significant variability in their evaluation of lesions using the mSWAT scoring system, particularly with tumors and lesions in erythrodermic patients, which were often misclassified.
- The findings reveal the need for better training and standardized protocols in scoring to enhance reliability in assessing CTCL severity, similar to other assessment tools in dermatology.
Updates in the Management of Richter Transformation.

Richter transformation (RT) is a rare albeit devastating complication of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL). RT is defined as an aggressive lymphoma, typically diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, in the setting of CLL. A clonal relationship to the preceding CLL clone is detected in the majority of RT cases and confers more aggressive clinicopathologic kinetics, resistance to standard chemoimmunotherapy regimens, and inferior survival.

Backgroud: The introduction of highly active immunotherapies has changed the outcome of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHLs) in the last two decades. Since then, important progress has been shown using newer and more active immunotherapies, including chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T), conjugated monoclonal antibodies, and bispecific antobodies, which currently plays a significant role in the treatment of diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL), follicular (FL), and mantle cell (MCL) lymphoma.
Purpose: In this review, we provide an updated overview of recently completed and ongoing BsAb trials in patients with relapsed/refractory(R/R) B-NHL and Hodgkin's lymphoma, including single-agent results, emerging combinations, safety data, and novel constructs.
The Impact of Cell-Intrinsic STAT6 Protein on Donor T Cell-Mediated Graft-Versus-Tumor Effect.

Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is mainly performed to restore an anti-tumor immune response, called the graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effect, against leukemia, myeloma and lymphoma. This GVT reactivity is driven by donor T cells, and it can also cause lethal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). We previously demonstrated that the colonization of mice with helminths preserves the GVT response while suppressing GVHD.
