Abstract:
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) may pose a diagnostic challenge for physicians, as clinical presentation and histologic analysis may mimic benign dermatologic conditions. The authors present a case of recurrent CTCL in which the recurrence was limited to the eyelid and misdiagnosed as a contact dermatitis. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case of recurrent CTCL that has presented solely as dermatitis of the eyelid.
