The adult T-cell lymphoma is a peripheral T-cell neoplasm caused by the human T-cell lymphotropic virus, type 1 (HTLV-1), endemic in Colombia. We present the case of a 66 years-old male patient who presented with skin lesions in trunk and extremities. The pathology study established the diagnosis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma NOS (not otherwise specified). Local management of skin lesions started, but it progressed, so adult T-cell lymphoma was suspected and confirmed.
Colombia is an endemic country for HTLV-1. Dermatologists should be familiar with this malignancy and its different skin manifestations, occasionally simulating mycosis fungoides, in order to identify more cases in a timely manner.
