    Abstract:
    Patients with subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) are prone to the development of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). It is not known whether small infections in SPTCL patients can trigger the development of HLH. The clinical data were collected from 21 SPTCL patients admitted to our hospital from January 2006 to October 2019. Among 21 cases of SPTCL, six cases had HLH as the first manifestation (SPTCL/HLH), seven cases had intrathoracic infection (ITI), five cases were SPTCL/HLH, 13 cases had no ITI or HLH (SPTCL/no HLH). Two patients with SPTCL/noHLH healed spontaneously. We found that 28.6% of the SPTCL patients had HLH as the first presentation. ITI may cooperate with SPTCL to trigger HLH and a small number of SPTCL/noHLH can fully recover without treatment.
