Primary cutaneous CD30+ large cell lymphoma is an unusual tumor most commonly seen in adults. Most of these lymphomas are of T-cell origin and carry a good prognosis. We present the case of a 4-year-old girl with stage IEA CD30+ large cell lymphoma with a CD56+ natural killer cell phenotype and the t(2;5)(p23;q35) translocation. After excision, the patient has been free of disease for 44 months. Primary cutaneous CD30+ large cell lymphoma is uncommon in children. To our knowledge, primary cutaneous CD30+ natural killer type lymphoma has not been reported previously. The indolent behavior of this tumor indicates its similarity to other primary cutaneous CD30+ large cell lymphomas and its difference from other CD56+ lymphomas involving the skin, which often exhibit an aggressive clinical course. Cases such as this one illustrate why the use of a single, or even a few, immunohistochemical stains can be misleading in regard to lymphoma classification and prognostication.

D007694 Killer Cells, Natural Bone marrow-derived lymphocytes that possess cytotoxic properties, classically directed against transformed and virus-infected cells. Unlike T CELLS; and B CELLS; NK CELLS are not antigen specific. The cytotoxicity of natural killer cells is determined by the collective signaling of an array of inhibitory and stimulatory CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS. A subset of T-LYMPHOCYTES referred to as NATURAL KILLER T CELLS shares some of the properties of this cell type.
