Abstract:
Primary cutaneous CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorders include primary cutaneous CD30+ (anaplastic) large T cell lymphoma, lymphomatoid papulosis, and borderline cases. These represent a clinical and histologic continuum rather than a separate entity. We report a 39-year-old woman with the clinical features of lymphomatoid papulosis. Histology favored primary CD30+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Although she was treated with aggressive combination chemotherapy, the lesions recurred shortly after discontinuation of chemotherapy. She is now regularly followed up without any treatment.
