Abstract
Primary cutaneous aggressive CD8+ T-cell lymphoma is an extremely rare entity with distinct clinicopathological features. We report a case of a 28-year-old man that clinically presented with an ulcerated nodule on his trunk and extremities. Histopathologic sections showed an ulcerated epidermis with a diffuse lymphocytic infiltrate in the superficial dermis with focal epidermotropism. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for CD3 and CD8 but negative for CD4, CD20, CD30 and CD56. Granzyme B was positif. He received UVB therapy subsequently associated to interferon with an important regression of the nodules.
