Abstract
Here, we report on a ten-year-old girl with chronic draining nonhealing ulcer in her neck and unilateral cervical chronic lymphadenopathy. Her ulcer had poor clinical response to broad spectrum antibiotics and anti-tuberculosis treatment. She had undergone several wound biopsies with no conclusive results. She was otherwise healthy with no known underlying disease. Final wound excisional biopsy with specific immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining confirmed her diagnosis. Histopathology report and IHC were compatible, indicating an anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
