Popis: Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (PCALCL) is a rare variant of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) characterized by CD30-expressing large atypical cells with kidney-shaped nuclei called hallmark cells. Since PCALCL is a rare variant of CTCL, the treatment of PCALCL is still controversial. In this report, a case of PCALCL successfully treated with denileukin diftitox as second-line therapy is described. Interestingly, the administration of denileukin diftitox decreased CD8+ T cells, CD25+ cells, granulysin-bearing lymphocytes, and CD163+ macrophages. The present case suggests that denileukin diftitox might induce an anti-lymphoma effect as well as modulate the tumor microenvironment.
