Abstractor Notes

Primary cutaneous CD4 positive small or medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (PCSM-LPD) is part of the Mature T-cell and NK-cell neoplasms lineage table in the WHO 5th edition of Hematolymphoid Tumors. (See Appendix B in the Hematopoietic Manual, Table B20)

These lesions usually present as a solitary plaque or nodule, most commonly on the face, neck, or upper trunk. Patients are asymptomatic, a single slow growing skin lesion is the sole manifestation of this disease.

Alternate Names

Primary cutaneous CD4 positive small/medium T-cell lymphoma [OBS]

Definition
