Bu yazıda benzeşen klinik bulguları nedeniyle komplike erizipel ön tanısıyla izlenen ancak histopatolojik inceleme ile primer kutanöz anaplastik büyük hücreli lenfoma tanısı konulan bir olgu sunulmuştur

Is it really an erysipelas?

Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma is characterized by red-brown plaques or nodules on the skin, may mimic skin and soft tissue infections and is usually related with high mortality. A case that was followed up as compli­cated erysipelas due to similar clinical findings but diagnosed as primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma with histopathological examination has been presented in this report.
