Abstract
T-zone lymphoma (TZL) is a rare subtype of nodal peripheral T-cell lymphoma characterized by a clonal expansion of T-zone lymphocytes accompanied by a proliferation of other T-zone constituents. Non-specific cutaneous alterations are seen in about one-third of all cases, but specific cutaneous involvement is extremely rare. We present a case of TZL with secondary skin infiltration, review the literature on cutaneous manifestations of TZL and discuss the differential diagnosis of TZL.
