Herein, we present a case of a 76-year-old Caucasian man with a very large fungating, ulcerating mass, involving the right neck and parotid area, which developed while he was being treated for chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma. Resection of the fungating right neck tumor, right modified radical neck dissection, and right superficial parotidectomy with flap reconstruction w...

BACKGROUND.: Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare form of cutaneous lymphomas, accounting for less than 1% of cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) findings of SPTCL before and after treatment were rarely reported. CASE REPORT.: We report a case of SPTCL in which F-18 FDG ...

A case of a 62-year-old woman with recurrent subcutaneous nodules, fever and pancytopenia diagnosed as subcutaneous T-cell lymphoma is presented. Incision biopsy revealed lobular panniculitis with an inflammatory infiltrate of atypical T lymphocytes. She was treated with 7 courses of CHOP with transient remission, and she died after 17 months of disease from fatal hemorrhagic complications due ...

Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTL) of the α/β type is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the skin. Although these tumors usually run an indolent course, disease-related morbidity is often severe. Clinical findings include subcutaneous tumors located on the extremities or trunk, often accompanied by systemic symptoms like fever or fatigue. Due to the low incidence of ...

Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare subtype of cutaneous lymphoma. There have been a few case reports describing the radiologic imaging findings of SPTCL. We report a case of SPTCL, rarely presented with a breast mass. Here, we review her clinical history and radiologic (mammography and ultrasound) findings.

A young woman presented with panniculitis, fever and blood cytopenias, later going on to develop hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Further evaluation revealed the presence of subcutaneous panniculitis like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL). With this case we present an approach to panniculitis, a commonly encountered skin manifestation with a wide range of differentials. We discuss the close similarity...

Intravenous rituximab plus chemotherapy is standard treatment for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. A subcutaneous formulation of rituximab is expected to simplify and shorten drug preparation and administration, and to reduce treatment burden. MabEase (clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: 01649856) examined efficacy, safety and patient satisfaction with subcutaneous rituximab plus chemotherapy in treat...

A 60-year-old woman presented with acute eyelid swelling and a subcutaneous hemorrhage in the right eye. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a spherical tumor of the lacrimal gland. The tumor was removed by the Kroenlein method. We diagnosed as a B-cell lymphoma that is unclassifiable, and intermediate between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Burkitt lymphoma (BL) (intermediate DLBCL/BL)...

ISSN 0001-5555 Sir, Primary central nervous system malignant lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Although it accounts for less than 1% of cases of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, its incidence is increasing due to the ageing society (1). Histologically, the main type of PCNSL is diffuse ...
