Core Tip

Core Tip: Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma is a rare peripheral T-cell lymphoma that occurs primarily in the skin. We present a special case of central nervous system T-cell lymphoma secondary to subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma. Lenalidomide deserves further investigation as a targeted drug for subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma cases involving the central nervous system.
