Abstract

Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma is comprised of enlarged, neoplastic lymphocytic cells demonstrating an anaplastic, pleomorphic or immunoblastic morphology. Additionally designated as CD30+ T cell lymphoproliferative disorder, majority (>75%) of neoplastic cells configuring primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma appear immune reactive to CD30. Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a frequently discerned neoplasm and configures ~ 30% of primary cutaneous lymphomas.
