Its prognosis is a good and has a good response to radiotherapy. We report a 34- year- old man who had primary cutaneous CD30+T cell lymphoma on his face, which presented as an ulcerated nodule.

Primary cutaneous aggressive epidermotropic CD8+ T-cell lymphoma.

Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas most commonly have a CD4(+) memory T-cell phenotype with relatively indolent course, but may in rare cases present with a CD8(+) cytotoxic phenotype exhibiting strikingly more aggressive clinical behavior. We present two cases of the clinically aggressive subtype of primary cutaneous epidermotropic CD8(+) cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and review the current literature, cl...

Specific cutaneous manifestations in adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma

Background and aim: Adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is an aggresive malignancy which may occur in human T lymphotropic virus1(HTLV1) infected persons. HTLV1 is endemic in Khorasan with prevalence of 2.3% in general population. Since specific cutaneous manifestations of lymphoma may occur in a significant number of patients, we studied ATLL patients in Mashhad.Mate...

Primary cutaneous CD8+ T-cell lymphoma masquerading as acral vascular syndrome.

Acral vascular syndromes (AVS) require thorough testing as, they can reveal varied underlying conditions, including immunological and haematological disorders or neoplasia (1). We report here the first case of primary cutaneous CD8 + T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) presenting with ulcerated infiltrated patches exclusively located on acral areas including fingers, toes, ears and nose. This case which evo...
