Abstract
AECL is characterised by ulcerative-haemorrhagic lesions that develop aggressively without any preceding mild cutaneous lesions. Median survival is 12 months. Histological analysis shows pagetoid epidermotropism comprising large monomorphic CD8+, CD2â and CD5â cells with markers for cytotoxicity and high expression of Ki67. The initial indolent phase in the case we report herein accounts for the diagnostic confusion at the outset with Woringer-Kolopp disease. Negative status of CD2 and CD5 labels may allow prompt diagnosis of AECL.
