Primary cutaneous CD4 + small/medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (PCSM-TCLPD) is a rare benign lymphoproliferative disorder, recently redefined by the 2016 World Health Organization classification of lymphoid neoplasms. In adults, PCSM-TCLPD responds well to monotherapy with surgical excision or local radiation, with or without topical/injected corticosteroids; in contrast, PCSM-TCLPD has only rarely been reported in children, in whom treatments favored in adults may be non-optimal.We present a 14-year-old male with PCSM-TCLPD on the forehead, who achieved complete remission following biopsy, topical corticosteroids, and surgical excision. We also review all literature-reported cases of pediatric PCSM-TCLPD, emphasizing the disorder's benign nature and treatment responsiveness in children.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
