Abstract

Primary cutaneous lymphomas represent a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders. Here, we have demonstrated a case of the primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) in a 28-year-old pregnant woman. The patient is demonstrated because of aggressive clinical course, and therapeutic difficulties of CTCL during pregnancy. CTCL are a group of rarely occurring neoplasms and the presence of CTCL during pregnancy can be an additional diagnostic and therapeutic challenge that needs multidisciplinary healthcare approach.
