چکیده
BPDN: Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm HSCT: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation INTRODUCTION Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasms (BPDN) are exceeding rare T-cell neoplasms that carry a dismal prognosis. Today, the exact etiology of the disease is unclear, and to our knowledge, no cases of BPDN have been reported at the site of vaccination injection. Additionally, all currently described cases described have dismal prognosis, and, to our knowledge, there are no reports of such lesions responding to topical steroid treatment. Herein, we present an unusual case of BPDN occurring at an influenza vaccination site that subsequently resolved after high-potency topical steroid treatment.

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare hematodermic myeloid malignancy that is known to be derived from plasmacytoid dendritic cells which are characterized by expression of CD4, CD56, and more specific markers such as CD123. Here, the authors present three cases of BPDCN diagnosed in the past two years and address different available diagnostic modalities such as morpho...

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm is a rare, highly aggressive hematopoietic malignancy that is characterized by the clonal proliferation of immature or precursors of plasmacytoid dendritic cells. We report the case of 70-year-old woman affected by blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm who died despite 6 months of chemotherapy.

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm is an aggressive malignancy derived from plasmacytoid dendritic cells. There is currently no accepted standard of care for treating this neoplasm, and therapeutic strategies have never been prospectively evaluated. Since blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm cells express high levels of interleukin-3 receptor α chain (IL3-Rα or CD123), antitum...
