Differential diagnosis of primary lymphoma and pseudolymphoma of the skin is an urgent issue that requires the attention of dermato- venereologists, hematologists, and oncologists. Skin pseudolymphoma is a reactive dermatosis that occurs in response to exogenous and endogenous influences, and primary skin lymphoma is a malignant proliferation of lymphocytes. The diagnosis is difficult due to the clinical and histological similarity of these nosologies. Diagnosis of primary skin lymphoma requires the interaction of doctors of different specialties. The presented clinical case demonstrates the result of a successful interdisciplinary collaboration of dermatovenereologists, pathologists, hematologists and oncologists.
