Membranocystic lesions in a patient with cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis associated with subcutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
A 51-year-old Japanese woman had erythematous, tender subcutaneous nodules on her lower legs and buttocks, as well as fever, pancytopenia, and liver dysfunction. Histopathologic examination of the nodules showed subcutaneous T-cell lymphoma with cytophagocytosis and membranocystic lesions. Our patient was unique in having the combination of cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis due to subcutaneous T-cell lymphoma and membranocystic lesions.
