Abstract

Abstract

Hydroa vacciniforme-like cutaneous T/NK-cell lymphoma is a rare lymphoma mainly aff ecting Asian and Latin American inndian children. It starts with swelling, vesicles, crusts, and vacciniform scars of extended evolution. Its severity increases with time and may cause disfi gurement, thus physically and psychologically aff ecting patients.
Generally, these patients have poor prognosis due to late detection of the lymphoma. A 20-year-old female patient with nasal-type NK-cell lymphoma starting with hydroa vacciniform (HV) of poor evolution at the age of 13 years is reported. The authors suggest that patients with atypical HV may
improve with treatment at an early stage

(Dermatol Argent 2009; 15(5):350-353).

Key words: T/NK-cell lymphoma, nasal type; hydroa-like cutaneous T/NK-cell lymphoma.
