Abstract

Cutaneous involvement in Hodgkin's lymphoma is an uncommon but well-recognized condition that usually occurs with advanced-stage disease. Primary cutaneous Hodgkin's disease (PCHD) is exceedingly rare, with only a few reported cases. We report a case of a man treated with combination systemic chemotherapy for PCHD, and review the available literature.
