  • Title: Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm: The Dermatologist's Perspective.
    Author: Hirner JP, O'Malley JT, LeBoeuf NR.
    Journal: Hematol Oncol Clin North Am; 2020 Jun; 34(3):501-509. PubMed ID: 32336415.
    Abstract:
    Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare, aggressive malignancy derived from the plasmacytoid dendritic cell that commonly involves the skin. Cutaneous involvement is often the initial presentation, with deep purple or red-brown macules, plaques, or tumors. As such, dermatologists may be the first to see these patients and, in addition to oncologists, should be familiar with its presentation to facilitate early diagnosis, helping to distinguish it from acute myelogenous leukemia cutis.
