Abstract: Primary CD30 positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a rare non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The disease mainly occurs around 60 years old, often in the limbs and trunk. Clinical examination often found tough, well demarcated nodular mass. Histopathological examination showed that a large number of lymphocytes are in the subcutaneous tissue. Morphology combined with immunohistochemical is more effective for diagnosis of this disease. Primary cutaneous ALCL is relatively rare, and primary anaplastic cell lymphoma occuring in the maxillofacial skin is much rare in clinic. In order to improve the diagnosis and treatment of the disease by oral and maxillofacial surgeons, this paper reported a case of ALCL in the maxillofacial skin and review the relevant literatures.
