Abstract

Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare lymphoma. The optimal therapy for SPTCL is undefined and the results of treatment with anthracycline-containing chemotherapy for aggressive cases have remained poor. A 27-year-old woman with multifocal and aggressive CD8+ SPTCL was treated with the purine analog fludarabine in combination with mitoxantrone and dexamethasone (FND). The patient achieved complete remission after one course of treatment. After completion of six courses of FND, the patient has remained in remission for more than 3 years. FND may be an effective treatment for aggressive SPTCL.
