Introduction: Primary cutaneous CD8+ acral T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (CD8+ ATCLPD) is a rare form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma that commonly presents on the acral regions of the body. We report a case of a 61-year-old man diagnosed with primary cutaneous CD8+ ATCLPD of the ear. Case presentation: A 61-year-old man presented with a non-healing, erythematous painful macule on the ear that had been evolving for the past 3 months. The lesion was resected, and histopathological examination revealed a primary cutaneous CD8+ ATCLPD with acral localization. Further investigations including CT scan of the thorax, abdomen and pelvis were done to stage the disease. The results showed no extracutaneous involvement. Conclusion: Accurate identification of primary cutaneous CD8+ ATCLPD is crucial due to its distinct prognostic and therapeutic implications compared to other CD8+ cytotoxic lymphoid proliferations. Primary cutaneous CD8+ ATCLPD can be treated conservatively and typically follows a slow clinical course, regardless of the treatment method. Understanding the clinical context, as well as the morphological and immunophenotypic characteristics, can assist in making a precise diagnosis. |
