Background: Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) involvement in the central nervous system (CNS) is particularly rare. SPTCL with CNS involvement has an exceedingly poor prognosis, and no optimum therapeutic method has been discovered. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of SPTCL invading the CNS achieving long-term remission with lenalidomide maintenance therapy.
Case Summary: A 63-year-old man diagnosed with SPTCL was admitted to the hospital with severe headache for 15 d after four cycles of chemotherapy. Subsequent to the treatment, the patient developed CNS involvement. Craniotomy biopsy was pathologically diagnosed as CNS T-cell lymphoma, and two courses of chemotherapy were performed postoperatively. Due to the intolerance of the side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs, the patient received lenalidomide instead. The magnetic resonance imaging of the head at the 8 mo follow-up indicated no signs of recurrence, and the vital signs were stable.
Conclusion: Lenalidomide deserves further investigation as a targeted drug for SPTCL cases involving the CNS.

This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of thioamide as a maintenance therapy for peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) . This study retrospectively analyzed the data from 58 patients with PTCL who were treated in the Department of Hematology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2015 to July 2022. Chidamide was orally administered as a maintenance therapy after first-line or salvage treatment.

Background: Lymphoma is a common hematological malignancy with diverse morphological and immunophenotypic characteristics that may affect treatment and outcomes. Thus, accurate differential diagnosis is crucial, and molecular genetic testing is valuable. We aimed to investigate the genetic characteristics of Korean patients with lymphoma using a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based targeted panel.

Both technologies currently remain largely independent, and emerging same slide spatial multi-omics approaches are generally limited in plex, spatial resolution, and analytical approaches. We introduce IN-situ DEtailed Phenotyping To High-resolution transcriptomics (IN-DEPTH), a streamlined and resource-effective approach compatible with various spatial platforms.

Phospholipase Cγ1 ( ) was identified as the most frequently mutated gene in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, suggesting a critical function of PLCG1 in driving T cell activation. However, it remains unclear how these mutations regulate T cell physiology and pathology.

Monoclonal antibodies enhance innate immunity, while bispecific T cell engager antibodies redirect adaptive T cell immunity. To stimulate both innate and adaptive mechanisms, we created a bifunctional eCD16A/anti-CD3-BFP adapter protein for combined use with clinically approved monoclonal IgG1 antibodies. The adaptor protein contains the extracellular domain of the human CD16A high-affinity variant, which binds the Fc domain of IgG1 antibodies, and an anti-human CD3 single-chain variable fragment that redirects T cell cytotoxicity.
