Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: The article demonstrates a case of diagnosis of a rare variant of primary skin lymphoma, namely of primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium-sized pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma with an indolent course. The diagnosis of SMPTCL is based on the combination of the clinical picture, histological and immunomorphological data. A 70-year-old patient presented at the clinic with complaints about tumor-like formations on the skin of the face and back accompanied by moderate itching. The diagnosis was verified by pathomorphological and immunohistochemical studies of the biopsy of the affected skin. The presented clinical case emphasizes the importance of doctors’ clinical oncological alertness and the need for clinical and laboratory examination of the patient using modern histological and immunohistochemical methods for studying the skin biopsy.
