  www.patientcenters.com -- Childhood Cancer Center -- Subcutaneous Ports
Subcutaneous ports have a septum that is self-sealing after needle removal, and are designed to withstand years of needle insertions.
The subcutaneous port must be accessed and flushed with saline and heparin at least once every 30 days, which usually coincides with the monthly clinic visit and blood checks.
The risks for a subcutaneous port are similar to those for the external catheter: infection, clots, and rarely, kinks or rupture.

 Subcutaneous T-cell lymphoma
Subcutaneous T-cell lymphoma is not a true panniculitis but is a rare, malignant neoplastic proliferation of T lymphocytes that involves the subcutaneous fat lobules.
Subcutaneous T-cell lymphoma was described in 1991 and is now recognized as a distinct subset of peripheral T-cell lymphomas.
Whereas some authors believe that cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis and subcutaneous T-cell lymphoma are separate benign and malignant entities, others suggest they represent a clinical spectrum with a natural disease progression from a benign panniculitis to malignant lymphoma [2].

This anaerobic metabolism often produces hydrogen and nitrogen, relatively insoluble gases, which may accumulate in subcutaneous tissues and cause crepitus or subcutaneous gas (detectable on x-ray).
