Distinguishing malignancy from premalignant conditions can be difficul t. Controversy surrounds both the clinical and histologic criteria use d to distinguish lymphomatoid papulosis, a benign disorder, from CD30( +) anaplastic large-cell lymphoma. Three case histories illustrate imp ortant points in categorizing different lymphoproliferative disorders as benign or malignant, We emphasize a multidisciplinary approach to i mprove diagnosis and patient management.
