Abstract
Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm previously known as CD4+/CD56+ blastic NK cell tumors or hematodermic tumors. We report a case of a A76-year-old women presented with disseminated violaceus nodular, ‘bruise like‘ patches and macules of the trunk and subconjunctival hemorrhage. Immunohistochemistry showed a CD4+/CD56+ expression which confirmed the diagnosis of BPDCN was made. We emphasize that careful analyses should be performed to make the correct diagnosis.
