ABSTRACT
Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a heterogenous group of generally aggressive neoplasms constituting less than 15% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas in adults. PTCL unspecified (PTCL-U) comprises 6% of lymphomas in the United States and Europe. Most patients with PTCL-U present with generalized lymphadenopathy and hemophagocytosis, eosinophilia, and pruritus involving the skin, liver, spleen, and other viscera. Gingival and genital ulcers are a very uncommon manifestation. The diagnosis of PTCL-U is based on the results of a tissue biopsy that shows evidence of T-cell lymphoma that does not meet the criteria for other subtypes of T-cell lymphoma. Here, we describe an 85-year-old man with intermittent fever and necrotizing gingival and genital ulcers who was diagnosed with PTCL-U after a gingival biopsy.
