Abstract

Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma is characterized by red-brown plaques or nodules on the skin, may mimic skin and soft tissue infections and is usually related with high mortality. A case that was followed up as complicated erysipelas due to similar clinical findings but diagnosed as primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma with histopathological examination has been presented in this report. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2014; 4(4): 168-169
Primer kutanöz anaplastik büyük hücreli lenfoma, deride kırmızı-kahverengi plaklar veya nodüllerle karakterize olup deri-yumuşak doku enfeksiyonlarını taklit edebilmekte ve genellikle yüksek oranda mortaliteyle seyretmektedir. Bu yazıda benzeşen klinik bulguları nedeniyle komplike erizipel ön tanısıyla izlenen ancak histopatolojik inceleme ile primer kutanöz anaplastik büyük hücreli lenfoma tanısı konulan bir olgu sunulmuştur.
