Primary cutaneous anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (PC-ALCL) constitutes 9% of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, which usually presents as a solitary ulcerating nodule or indurated plaque but sometimes has varied presentations mimicking eczema to squamous cell carcinoma. In our case, PC-ALCL presented as a noduloulcerative lesion. Since PC-ALCL is rare, there is a high chance to misdiagnose and hence high index of suspicion is necessary.
