Popis: Primary cutaneous acral CD8+ T-cell lymphoma (PCACTL) is currently a provisional entity defined as a rare cutaneous proliferation of atypical CD8+ lymphocytes that preferentially involves acral sites and has a good prognosis. We present a case of primary cutaneous CD8+ T-cell lymphoma involving the eyelid of an adolescent male. The case shares features with PCACTL, including indolent clinical behavior and expression of CD68 in a Golgi-associated dot-like pattern; however, other features differ significantly from PCACTL as currently defined by the World Health Organization (WHO). These features include ulceration, expression of CD56, granzyme B, and perforin, and a high proliferative index. Given these discrepancies, our case is currently best classified as a CD8+ primary cutaneous peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified. We review the differential diagnosis for this case and suggest expanding the definition of PCACTL. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
