Abstract

Background: Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is rare in pediatric patients, whereas B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (B-ALL) is a common childhood hematologic malignancy. The synchronous occurrence of these two distinct lymphoid neoplasms is exceedingly rare, with only two previously reported pediatric cases.

Case presentation: We describe the case of an 11-year-old boy with biopsy-proven SPTCL whose staging marrow examination revealed concurrent B-ALL. The patient was treated according to the B-ALL protocol, and the cutaneous lesions resolved promptly after induction therapy.

Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of comprehensive skin biopsy and staging. Management in such cases should be directed toward the B-ALL component.
