What Is Subcutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma?

Patients with subcutaneous nodules in the lower limbs are often diagnosed with nodular erythema or other types of panniculitis. With weight loss, fever and fatigue. Erythrocyte syndrome is common and often causes death. Even in fatal cases, involvement outside the skin is rare. The prognosis of this disease is poor.

Subcutaneous T-cell lymphoma

The cause of subcutaneous T-cell lymphoma (sudcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma) is unknown. The pathogenesis is unclear. Patients with subcutaneous nodules in the lower limbs are often diagnosed with nodular erythema or other types of panniculitis. Erythrocytic syndrome is common and often causes patient death. According to clinical manifestations, skin lesion characteristics, and histopathological characteristics can be diagnosed. Combined chemotherapy is the main treatment method.

The cause is unknown.

Test method for subcutaneous T-cell lymphoma

Laboratory inspection:

Currently there are no related content description.

Other auxiliary checks:

Histopathology: adipocyte leaflet has lace-like infiltration, similar to panniculitis. Infiltrating cells are composed of small and large lymphoid cells. The cells were atypical, with obvious nuclear fragmentation, and nuclear fission appeared to be common. A large or small amount of benign histiocytes can be seen and it can be demonstrated that they are phagocytosing red blood cells.

Immunohistochemistry: Tumor cells are T cell-calibrated (CD2, CD3), usually CD4 and CD30-.

Subcutaneous T-cell lymphoma complications

Common erythrocyte syndrome.

Prognosis of subcutaneous T-cell lymphoma

Erythrocyte syndrome is common and often causes death. Even in fatal cases, involvement outside the skin is rare. The prognosis of this disease is poor.
