Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma of the breast in an
adolescent female: An Uncommon presentation
Abstract
Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare form of
peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) and is extremely uncommon in the
pediatric population. We present a case of a 15-year-old girl with SPTCL
and an unusual involvement of the breast. The FDG-PET/CT showed avid
uptake of 18F-FDG in the breast predominantly involving the subcutaneous
tissue that improves post treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first
case of breast SPTCL reported in pediatric patient. A study published by
Goto-et-al in 2019 [(1)](#ref-0001), found only 27 cases of SPTCL
under 15 years, including four infants and none of them shown breast
involvement.
