Abstract
Fine erythematous papules appeared on the left ankle of a 76-year-old male, November 2008. Although most of the papules had disappeared spontaneously, a number of the papules had become enlarged. A diagnosis of CD30-positive lymphoma was made by skin biopsy at another dermatology clinic. Subsequently, he was admitted to our university hospital. At the initial visit, a nodule approximately 1cm in diameter on his left leg, and a red, rough, well-demarcated nodule with ulcer and crust whose size was 5cm on his left ankle were seen. After excision of these lesions, several nodules appeared on other areas of his legs and enlarged rapidly. We successfully treated these nodules with ultraviolet irradiation using a 308nm excimer lamp.[Skin Cancer (Japan) 2010 ; 25 : 205-209]
