Primary cutaneous gamma-delta T-cell lymphoma (CGD-TCL) is a rare cutaneous lymphoma. Panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) has a better prognosis than CGD-TCL. SPTCL is sometimes associated with autoimmune disease. A 64-year-old Japanese female with a history of dermatomyositis presented with subcutaneous nodules on the upper extremities and exacerbated dermatomyositis. A skin biopsy showed lobular panniculitis, a vacuolar interface change, and a dermal mucin deposit. Fat cells rimmed by neoplastic cells, fat necrosis, and karyorrhexis were observed. The atypical lymphoid cells showed CD3+, CD4−, CD8+, granzyme B+, CD20−, and CD56−. Polymerase chain reaction analysis demonstrated a T-cell receptor rearrangement. The patient was initially diagnosed with SPTCL, so the dose of prednisone was raised from 7.5 to 50 mg daily (1 mg/kg). After one month, erythematous nodules regressed, and muscle symptoms improved. Subsequently, prednisone was tapered, and cyclosporin A was added. After one year, the patient remained symptom-free and continued taking 7.5 mg prednisone and 100 mg cyclosporin A daily. Afterward, we immunostained skin samples with antibodies against TCR-ß and δ and found positive TCR-δ and negative TCR-ß. Therefore, we corrected the diagnosis to CGD-TCL, although the clinical course and the presence of dermatomyositis were reminiscent of SPTCL.
