Abstract
Primary cutaneous small/medium-sized pleomorphic T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (PCSM-TCLPD) is a rare and indolent primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma variant [1], usually presenting as a solitary nodule or plaque in the head and neck [2] or rarely as multiple lesions in anatomic areas apart from head and neck [2]. Histology reveals the presence of a dense dermal infiltrate of CD4+, CD8-, small/medium pleomorphic cells [2] intermingled with reactive cells. Surgical or radiotherapic approach are the preferred option, while oral doxycycline has been suggested in cases with multiple lesions [2-3]. This article is protected by copyright.
