Abstract

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) previously called “CD4/CD56 hematodermic neoplasm” is a rare hematolymphoid neoplasm with a very poor prognosis. The disease has rarely been described in the paediatric population and is characterized by cutaneous involvement in most cases with hematological dissemination. Given the low number of cases described, the role of 18FDG PET/CT in this disease is very little known. We herein present a case of a 14-year-old girl with BPDCN to highlight the utility of 18FDG PET/CT for staging and treatment follow-up in this rare entity.
