- Abstract
- Cellulitis is one of the most misdiagnosed disease, which could be lethal when misdiagnosed. There are a lot of diseases to consider in differential diagnosis of cellulitis. Especially when conventional treatment with antibiotics does not seem to work, other radiological examinations and biopsy should be considered to find out what is causing the symptoms. Our case presents a patient with anaplastic large cell lymphoma, who was first thought to have had cellulitis but was later found to have malignancy. We aim to highlight the significance of differential diagnosis in common symptoms. © The Author(s) 2019.
