Abstract

Primary cutaneous large cell lymphoma CD30 + (CD30 + LCL) is a rare subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) that often regresses spontaneously. The large-cell pleomorphic immunoblastic histological subtype does not adversely affect prognosis. It is important to distinguish CD30 + primary cutaneous large cell lymphoma from lymph node primary CD30 + lymphoma with secondary skin involvement, because in the latter case the prognosis is worse. The Authors report the case of a patient who presented an irregularly ovoid, figured and ulcerated plaque at the level of the left flank with contiguous ulcerated papules / nodules of smaller dimensions.
