Primary cutaneous CD8+ aggressive epidermotropic cytotoxic T-cell lymphoma (CD8+ AECTCL) is a rare, aggressive cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with a poor prognosis. Although CD8+ AECTCL typically initially presents on the skin, visceral dissemination is common. Given the rarity of this condition, it is considered a provisional entity in the fourth edition of the World Health Organization/European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (WHO/EORTC) classification guidelines. In this chapter we discuss the clinical presentation, prognosis, treatment, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, molecular characteristics, and differential diagnosis of CD8+ AECTCL. The chapter closes with a clinical case.
