• 

  Fig. 1 (A, B) Multiple various-sized erythematous plaques and nodules on the face.

• 

  Fig. 2 (A) The tumor is composed of diffuse cellular infiltrate in the entire dermis and subcutis, with an overlying Grenz zone (H&E, ×40). (B) The cells were monomorphic medium sized atypical lymphocytes containing irregular round or indented nuclei with pale cytoplasm (H&E, ×400). Immunohistochemical stains were positive for (C) CD4 (×100), (D) CD56 (×100), and (E) CD123 (×100) and negative for (F) CD3 (×100), (G) CD20 (×100), and (H) myeloperoxidase (×100).
