Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma with interface changes, dermal mucin and associated hemophagocytic symdrome (hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis).

Some possible diagnosis here (or a combination of them). My first diagnosis is SPLTCL associated with hemophagocytic syndrome, as stated by Romualdo. As the patient has hemophagocytic syndrome and dermal lymphocites, we have to evaluate the possibility of gama/delta T-Cell Lymphoma. Maybe the most likely is an association of SPLTCL with Lupus. They can coexist and even may be correlated, as some lupus patients evolve to SPLTCL, and some patients with SPLTCL presents with direct immunofluorescence and laboratory findings consistent with Lupus. I think immunohistochemistry and CPC are essential here.

SPLTCL is the favoured diagnosis here.
There is overlap between lupus profundus and SPLTCL and the presence of interface change with dermal mucin is interesting in this case. Agree with Igor that the case needs immunos and cpc.

I called this atypical lymphocytic lobular panniculitis but I think that SPTCL might be the better diagnosis for this.
