Solitary CD8-Positive Primary Cutaneous Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma: A Question of Classification

We report a case of an ulcerated solitary cutaneous lesion arising on the forehead of an adult man, which had a CD8(+) cytotoxic phenotype and areas of dot-like CD68 positivity, but with a number of features that significantly detracted from the classically described acral CD8(+) lymphoma. The nosological status of the lesion is discussed with respect to a preferred diagnosis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified.
