Abstract

We describe a patient with severe fatal histiocytic phagocytic panniculitis caused by a pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma. Analysis by polymerase chain reaction revealed clonality for both the T-cell receptor gamma-chain gene and the immunoglobulin heavy-chain gene. We also review 44 reported cases of primary or secondary lymphoma affecting the subcutaneous fat.
