Cutaneous lymphomas are encountered infrequently in general surgical pathology practice, and the broad array of pathological entities poses a diagnostic challenge. Integration of clinical information, results of additional laboratory investigations, and an extensive immunohistochemical panel are essential in arriving at the correct diagnosis. We present a case of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm that occurred in an unusual clinical setting. This case highlights the need for a broad differential diagnosis and an extensive immunohistochemical workup when approaching a cutaneous lymphoma.
皮肤淋巴瘤在普通外科病理学实践中很少见，广泛的病理实体构成了诊断挑战。整合临床信息、额外实验室检查结果和广泛的免疫组织化学小组对于得出正确诊断至关重要。我们提出了一个发生在不寻常临床环境中的原始浆细胞样树突细胞肿瘤的病例。该病例强调了在处理皮肤淋巴瘤时需要广泛的鉴别诊断和广泛的免疫组织化学检查。
