Abstract
Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (pcALCL), a member of the spectrum of CD30+ lymphoproliferative diseases, has an excellent prognosis. This indolent lymphoma is the second most common of all cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. It typically presents with solitary cutaneous and subcutaneous erythematous-to-violaceous papules and nodules. Although relapse after treatment is very common, patients are typically asymptomatic, and the vast majority do not experience extracutaneous spread.
