Subcutaneous panniculitic-like T-cell lymphoma localized to a site of peginterferon alfa-2a administration

T cell dyscrasias that demonstrate a proclivity for the subcutaneous fat include atypical lymphocytic lobular panniculitis, lupus profundus, and primary subcutaneous T cell lymphoma, including subcutaneous panniculitis-like T cell lymphoma (SPTCL). We encountered two patients who developed fever and indurated abdominal erythema at their peginterferon alfa-2a injection sites. Biopsies showed an atypical CD8 positive, granzyme positive, CD5 negative, MXA negative lymphocytic lobular panniculitis, diagnostic of SPTCL. Peginterferon alfa-2a was held in both patients. One patient received chemotherapy with an excellent response, while the other continued to have progressive disease. Peginterferon alfa-2a is known to significantly elevate serum MXA, which may induce high levels of MXA expression at the injection site, creating a microenvironment for the development of lupus profundus, which may eventuate into SPTCL. In summation, a potential risk of peginterferon alfa-2a injections is the development of SPTCL potentially arising in a background of an exogenous interferon triggered lymphocytic panniculitis.
