Sumario:Primary cutaneous gamma-delta T-cell lymphoma (PCGD-TCL) is a rare type of lymphoma, representing less than 1% of all cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. It is typically aggressive and chemotherapy-refractory. Hence, most institutions tend to employ intensive chemotherapy followed by stem cell transplantation although there is no standard of care established. We report a case of PCGD-TCL and discuss the challenges associated with the diagnosis and management of PCGD-TCL.
