摘要
We report the case of a 41-year-old patient with an aggressive cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) initially presenting on histology as lymphocytic vasculitis. On repeated histological examination and by molecular biology work-up, the diagnosis of an unclassifiable CTCL could eventually be established. This atypical poorly differentiated lymphoma was of a CD4+CD8-CD56-phenotype and followed an unfavourable course. The patient died despite chemoand immunotherapy 7 months after the first consideration of lymphoma as diagnosis.
