We herein report a case of subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) resembling adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD). A 40-year-old woman presented with a fever, erythema, and painful subcutaneous nodules on the trunk. Laboratory data and a bone marrow analysis showed hemophagocytic syndrome. Although AOSD was suspected, based on a histopathological evaluation of the erythema, she was diagnosed with SPTCL. She was refractory to combination chemotherapy but achieved durable remission with cyclosporine monotherapy. Genetic testing revealed a homozygous HAVCR2 c.245A>G variant (rs184868814) that had caused NLRP3 inflammasome activation. SPTCL and AOSD share a pathogenesis in terms of NLRP3 inflammasome activation, so the clinical phenotype of SPTCL reasonably mimics AOSD.

A 9-month-old girl was evaluated for recurrent fevers, rash, and indurated plaques, with laboratories demonstrating hyperferritinemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and pancytopenia, concerning for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Biopsy of thigh lesion ultimately demonstrated subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma. In a rare neoplasm of cytotoxic T-cells, subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma presents with subcutaneous nodules in all age groups including children.

Introduction: Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma with a good prognosis, but the optimal treatment for relapsed/refractory (R/R) SPTCL has been rarely discussed.
Methods: This study aims to compare the efficacy of conventional chemotherapy and chemo-free immunomodulatory regimen for R/R SPTCL. We retrospectively reviewed the patients with first relapse or primary refractory SPTCL between September 1997 and October 2020.

Background: Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare cytotoxic T-cell lymphoma with indolent behavior, mostly present in women and associated with immunological diseases whose pathogenic background is still poorly understood. SPTCL is associated with lupus erythematosus panniculitis (LEP) and histologically misdiagnosed.
Objectives: The aim of our study was to identify mutations affecting the pathogenesis of both SPTCL and LEP.

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.

Background: Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that primarily affects subcutaneous tissues. Its occurrence in the orofacial region is exceptionally uncommon, presenting diagnostic challenges due to symptom overlap with more prevalent orofacial condition.
Case Presentation: This report details the case of a 15-year-old male who presented with persistent left-sided facial swelling, initially misdiagnosed as facial cellulitis.
