Subcutaneous panniculitis‐like T‐cell lymphoma is an uncommon form of CD8‐positive cytotoxic T‐cell lymphoma of the skin that predominantly affects the subcutaneous tissue and is extremely rare in early childhood (<3 yrs). Here, we present an early pediatric case with an indolent form of subcutaneous panniculitis‐like T‐cell lymphoma occurring at 12 months old. The subcutaneous nodules gradually disappeared spontaneously, and the girl showed excellent prognosis with no aggressive treatment.
