| Summary: | Childhood panniculitides are not common. Histopathological diagnostic approach is vital to differentiate this group of pathologies that commonly present with inflammation of the subcutaneous adipose tissue. Pediatric subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphomas are rare. Treatment modalities include observation, surgical excision, radiotherapy, immunosuppression, and chemotherapy. The case of an 18-month female who presented with a flank mass that was diagnosed as a subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma and successfully managed with intensity-reduced, dual agent immunosuppression is described. |
