Summary 

To date, several pediatric NHL cases in unusual localizations such as orbita, lacrimal sac and eyelid have been published. This is the first case of PTCL reported in childhood involving glabellar region. Only sporadic case reports and small series have been reported related with PTCL in children. The present case is interesting both for the site of involvement, glabella, and in histopathologic subtype, peripheral T-cell lymphoma and also in clinical progress.
