Abstract
Two cases are reported of cutaneous anaplastic large-cell lymphoma with the suppressor/cytotoxic (CD8) phenotype. In both cases there was a solitary skin tumour in which there was a dense infiltrate with large irregularly shaped cells which on immunophenotyping expressed CD8. DNA hybridization analysis showed rearrangements of the T-cell-receptor gene in both cases.
