Primary Cutaneous Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Presenting With Corkscrew Vessels On Dermascopy

Abstract

Corkscrew (linear helical) blood vessels on dermoscopy have been described as features of melanoma and cutaneous metastases. The etiology of these vessels is unknown but the association with high-risk neoplasms is ominous and may be related to features unique to cancers with a high metastatic potential. We present a case of primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) with prominent corkscrew blood vessels on dermoscopy.
