title: Hodgkin's lymphoma with cutaneous involvement.
abstract: We report a case of a 22-year-old previously healthy woman with Hodgkin's lymphoma who presented initially with multiple lymphadenopathy and later, with a solitary cutaneous ulcer. Unlike Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma subtypes, skin involvement of Hodgkin's lymphoma is extremely rare. The prognosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma with skin infiltration is felt to be extremely poor. Contrary to other reports, this case demonstrates that a good response with standard therapy is possible.
