Psoriasis is a multisystemic chronic inflammatory immune-mediated disorder presenting with multiple clinical manifestations and comorbidities. Studies suggested a significant association between the incidence of malignancy including Hodgkin’s lymphoma and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and malignancy-related deaths in patients with psoriasis owing to the disease itself, the chronic inflammation, and the immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory effect of drugs. This case report is discussing the condition of an 18-year-old female, who has developed Hodgkin’s lymphoma after receiving immunosuppressive therapy in the context of psoriasis vulgaris flare-up.
