Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T cell lymphoma in a HIV positive patient.
Immunocompromised patients are at increased risk for developing certain malignant tumors, particularly aggressive B cell lymphomas and extranodal lymphomas like primary central nervous system lymphoma and primary effusion lymphoma. T cell lymphomas are uncommon in these patients. We report a rare case of subcutaneous panniculitis-like T cell lymphoma in a HIV positive patient who presented with multiple subcutaneous nodules.
