This case report describes a 38 year-old lady with the clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical (IHC) changes of subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL). The IHC findings revealed CD8 + and CD56 - cells, which are indicative of tumors which have an indolent course. Our patient is being managed with tapering doses of corticosteroids for the last nine months with good improvement.
