  Fig. 1 (A) Painful erythematous ulcerative plaques with discharges on the right upper arm. (C) Lymphomatous involvement of the soft tissues of the right lower neck, shoulder, chest wall, and arm in positron emission tomography/computed tomography. (B) After VIDL chemotherapy (etoposide, ifosfamide, mesna, dexamethasone, and L-asparaginase), the ulcerative plaques on the patient's arm clinically improved after the 4th chemotherapy cycle.

  Fig. 2 (A, B) Histopathological examination showing dermal necrosis with dense atypical lymphoid cell infiltration. Vessel dilation and vascular destruction are also observed (H&E: A, ×100; B, ×200). (C) Immunophenotyping results revealed positive for CD3 (H&E, ×100), (D) CD56 (H&E, ×100) and (E) Epstein-Barr virus (H&E, ×100).
