Summary A case of pure non‐epidermotropic cutaneous lymphoma in a human immunodeficiency virus‐infected patient is reported following a viral opportunistic infection [cyto‐megalovirus (CMV) hepatitis]. The lymphoid infiltrate was Epstein–Barr virus and CMV negative with a CD30‐positive T‐cell phenotype. Molecular analysis demonstrated T cell receptor gene rearrangement, but a non‐aggressive disease course was noted supporting a cautious therapeutic approach in this case.
