Abstract
Distinguishing malignancy from premalignant conditions can be difficult. Controversy surrounds both the clinical and histologic criteria used to distinguish lymphomatoid papulosis, a benign disorder, from CD30+ anaplastic large-cell lymphoma. Three case histories illustrate important points in categorizing different lymphoproliferative disorders as benign or malignant. We emphasize a multidisciplinary approach to improve diagnosis and patient management.
