Abstrakt: Systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (sALCL) is a rare, malignant T-cell lymphoma characterized by CD30 expression. There are two subtypes: ALK-positive sALCL and ALK-negative sALCL. In either condition, patients commonly present with lymphadenopathy and B symptoms, such as fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Extranodal involvement is uncommon, but does occur to the skin, liver, and lungs. We present a unique case of ALK-negative sALCL with diffuse secondary cutaneous involvement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
