title: Cutaneous CD30 positive large T cell lymphoma of the upper lip: a rare presentation.
abstract: Primary cutaneous CD30 positive large T cell lymphomas (PCLCL) are very rare in the head and neck region. We report a case which presented on the right upper lip in a 48-year-old male. This was an isolated cutaneous lesion and in these circumstances this otherwise aggressive lymphoma has an excellent prognosis.
