Such cells are seen, for example, in a group of diseases characterized by inflammation of subcutaneous adipose tissue (panniculitis; Weber-Christian disease) and subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma, a distinctive skin lymphoma characterized by neoplastic cytotoxic T-cell infiltration of the subcutaneous tissue, mimicking panniculitis.
