ABSTRACT
Lennert's lymphoma is a peripheral T-cell lymphoma that only rarely involves the skin. We present the case of a forty-two-year-old man who experienced severe pruritus for ten months. He was repeatedly diagnosed as having neurodermatitis and prurigo nodularis before subtle hematologic clues suggested, and subsequent examination of bone and lymph node biopsy specimens confirmed, the diagnosis of Lennert's lymphoma. This report describes the case and presents a brief review of Lennert's lymphoma.

Vasculitic lesions are not generally associated with eosinophilic fasciitis. Eosinophilic fasciitis is reported to be a syndrome distinct from progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS). More recent studies, however, note overlapping features in the clinical, pathologic, and laboratory findings of eosinophilic fasciitis and scleroderma. We report a typical presentation of eosinophilic fasciitis that developed vasculitic-like leg ulcerations as seen in scleroderma.
