Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare haematological malignancy that originates from the precursors of plasmacytoid dendritic cells. It commonly presents with findings isolated to the skin although it usually progresses to a leukaemic phase. It has a poor prognosis but is curable, particularly in younger patients treated with allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. We report a case of a 79-year old man who had 6 months of progressive, asymptomatic BPDCN manifestations limited to the skin, before developing a leukaemic phase.

D003713 Dendritic Cells Specialized cells of the hematopoietic system that have branch-like extensions. They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).
