[Localized poikiloderma vascularis atrophicans as an early manifestation of Hodgkin's disease of the nodular-sclerosing type].

A 33-year-old female patient is presented with a nine-year history of poikilodermatous, eventually ulcerative skin lesions on the right neck and shoulder. A work-up revealed Hodgkin's disease of the nodular sclerosing type with specific cutaneous infiltrations. Initial combination polychemotherapy followed by supradiaphramatic irradiation has resulted in complete clinical remission of the disease since 15 months.
