Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a T-cell malignancy closely associated with human T-cell lymphotropic virus-1 (HTLV-I). Because of its long latency period, ATLL occurs almost exclusively in adults. We report a case of a 13-year-old boy with an 8-year history of skin eruptions. After complete evaluation, a diagnosis of HTLV-I-associated lymphoma/leukemia was made. The T-cell lymphoma exhibited a granulomatous histomorphology. There have been very few reports of ATLL presenting in childhood and none, to our knowledge, demonstrating granulomatous histology. We conclude that ATLL may rarely present as a chronic granulomatous eruption in a child.
