Abstract
-
Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma(SPTCL) is a rare subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and needs to be differentiated from benign causes of panniculitis and other cutaneous T-cell lymphomas involving subcutis, especially nasal type NK/T-cell lymphoma(NKTL) involving the panniculus. We report herein two cases of SPTCL which was distinguished from nasal type NKTL by the following findings; CD8+, CD56-, Ebstein Barr virus RNA- and clonal T cell receptor gene arrangement.
