Primary Cutaneous Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma of the Nasal Dorsum and Nasal Tip

Primary cutaneous anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (C-ALCL) is described as a non-Hodgkin lymphoma that affects only the skin, with no evidence of an extracutaneous disease during the first six months following the diagnosis. We present an unusual case of a 53-year-old man with developed fever and a rapidly increasing ulcerated skin lesion located on the nasal dorsum and nasal tip. The nasal endoscopy revealed a reddish polypoid lesion over the anterior edge of the superior turbinate which had extended through the roof of the nasal cavity in the adjacent area of the nasal septum.
