Abstract

Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma characterized by neoplastic α/β T cells infiltrating subcutaneous tissues in a lobular pattern. Few data support the optimal treatment regimen for patients, given the rarity of this condition, and even fewer data describe treatment when diagnosed during pregnancy. We describe a case of SPTCL in a pregnant patient who achieved clinical remission after treatment with corticosteroid monotherapy. Our case suggests that corticosteroids should be considered as first-line treatment in pregnant patients with SPTCL.
