Br J Dermatol. 2005 Nov;153(5):1041-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2133.2005.06839.x.

Abstract

Primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (PCTCLDs) are uncommon in organ transplant recipients. CD30+ PCTCLDs are rare in children and have not previously been reported following organ transplantation. We report a 15-year-old boy with Netherton's syndrome who developed CD30+ PCTCLD 6 years following a cardiac transplantation.
