| Abstract | We report a case of an epidermotropic CD8+ cutaneous T-cell lymphoma which initially presented as an ulcerated lesion of the pinna. Although T-cell lymphomas may present as cutaneous lesions, the ear is rarely involved. This uncommon presentation and the need for multiple biopsies means that the diagnosis of these lesions may be delayed or missed. A high index of suspicion is required when evaluating cutaneous lesions in the head and neck area. |
