title: [Immunocytoma simulating chronic acrodermatitis atrophicans].
abstract: A 76 year old female developed an acrodermatitis-chronica-atrophicans-(ACA)-like lesion on her foot. Histological examination and quantitative determination of immunoglobulins in homogenates from the skin lesion revealed an immunocytoma of the IgM type. Malignant lymphoma originating in ACA lesions or concomitting ACA are well known. The case described here indicates that primary malignant lymphoma of the skin clinically can simulate ACA and creates diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic problems.
