Abstract
Non-Hodgkin CD30+ T-cell lymphoproliferative disease encompasses three subgroups, one of which is primary cutaneous anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma (PC-ALCL). It is distinguished by the presence of giant anaplastic cells with pleomorphism and widespread CD30 positivity. The case of a 58-year-old female is presented who reported to the Eye Department of Jinnah Post-Graduate Medical Centre (JPMC) on 18th January, 2023 with a three-month history of rapidly enlarging, non-tender, ulcerated lesion on the lower eyelid of the right eye. The histopathology report identified the lesion as CD30+ primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Computed tomography (CT) scanning of the orbit revealed no extension, and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) showed no systemic involvement. The patient underwent surgical excision without adjuvant chemoradiation and has remained in clinical remission for five months.
期刊介绍：
Primarily being a medical journal, JPMA publishes scholarly research focusing on the various fields in the areas of health and medical education. It publishes original research describing recent advances in health particularly clinical studies, clinical trials, assessments of pathogens of diagnostic importance, medical genetics and epidemiological studies. Review articles highlighting importance of various issues in the domain of public health, drug research and medical education are also accepted. As a leading journal of South Asia, JPMA remains cognizant of the recent advances in the rapidly growing fields of biomedical sciences, it invites and encourages scholars to write short reviews and invited editorials on the emerging issues. We particularly aim to promote health standards of developing countries by encouraging manuscript submissions on issues affecting the public health and health delivery services.
