We describe an 82-year-old man with CD8+ lymphoepithelioid lymphoma localized to the skin. The skin lesion had been present for 18 years. Histologically there was a dense infiltrate that consisted of atypical lymphoid cells and large epithelioid cells, thereby resembling the so-called Lennert's lymphoma. Local radiotherapy proved effective in reducing the size of the tumor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of primary lymphoepithelioid lymphoma of the skin.
