title: Cytotoxic/suppressor (CD8+, CD4-) cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with aggressive course.
abstract: A case of cutaneous cytotoxic/suppressor T-cell (CD8+, CD4-) lymphoma is reported. The tumor was characterized by its rapid growth and no response to polychemotherapy. This unusual immunophenotype seems to be associated, in this and other cases reported previously, with a more aggressive course than the classic indolent course of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
