Subcutaneous Panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare subtype of childhood non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Subcutaneous Panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma has an aggressive variant associated with the hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS). Patients without HPS show resolution of the disease with prednisone or immunosuppressive therapy unlike other T-cell lymphomas. One HIV-positive adolescent and one infant with multiple subcutaneous masses are presented and the literature is reviewed. Lesional cells were consistent with SPTCL alpha-beta type. Our cases, without HPS, showed complete resolution of their lesions when treated with non-aggressive therapies. Patients with SPTCL alpha-beta should be treated conservatively.
