Abstract

Diffuse extranodal cutaneous lymphomatous involvement is a unique presentation in a case of adult T-cell lymphoma. We present the case of a 26-year-old female who presented with erythematous rashes with subsequent evaluation with 18F fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography-computed tomography showing enlarged inguinal and axillary lymph nodes, and biopsy findings from the inguinal lymph nodes were suggestive of adult T-cell lymphoma.
