Abstract

Granulomatous slack skin is a rare variant of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma characterized by lax skin and granulomatous infiltrate with loss of elastic fibers on histology. We report a unique case of a female presenting with CD30-granulomatous slack skin complicated by hypercalcemia, initially diagnosed, and managed as sarcoidosis. Interestingly, she had a history of previously treated CD30+ cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Granulomatous slack skin can frequently mimic other benign and malignant cutaneous diseases, prompting the need for clinical vigilance from dermatologists.
