چکیده
Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm is a rare, highly aggressive hematopoietic malignancy that is characterized by the clonal proliferation of immature or precursors of plasmacytoid dendritic cells. We report the case of 70-year-old woman affected by blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm who died despite 6 months of chemotherapy.

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare and highly aggressive hematological malignancy that is derived from the precursors of plasmacytoid dendritic cells. Although BPDCN typically manifests in the skin, it can also evolve into a leukemic form or be complicated by acute myeloid leukemia, and some cases involve preceding myelodysplastic syndrome. We report the case of a 73...
