Abstract
Primary cutaneous CD4+ small- to medium-sized pleomorphic T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (PCSM-LPD) is a rare and low-grade form of cutaneous T-cell proliferation with the average age of diagnosis of 54 years. Because of its rarity, the etiology or exact clinicopathology of PCSM-LPD remains unclear, with < 10 pediatric cases reported. A 13-year-old boy presented to our clinic with a raised tumor with PCSM-LPD histology and was successfully treated with ultra-low-dose radiation therapy. While no standard of care has been established for pediatric PCSM-LPD, this report represents an example of achieving remission in a pediatric tumor with minimal potential for therapy-related long-term toxicity.
