Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma: A rare presentation
Journal Title: Journal of Medical and Scientific Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-Cell Lymphoma (SPTL) is a very rare form of skin lymphoma that is localized primarily to the subcutaneous adipose tissue without palpable involvement of the lymph nodes. Diagnosis of SPTCL is a challenge as clinical features are non specific and mimic benign conditions. Unless there is expertise in oncopathology and strong suspicion, biopsy is also difficult to interpret. Due to misdiagnosis, steroids are started early which mask the disease leading to further delay in seeking appropriate care. We present here an illustrative case of a young lady with symptoms mimicking collagen vascular disease and diagnosis of SPTCL reached later.
