SUMMARY A 28‐year‐old man in whom CD30 (Ki‐1)‐positive cutaneous large cell lymphoma manifested as multiple widespread ulcerated nodules, which developed over a 2‐week period, is reported. The lymphoma was composed of large anaplastic cells in large clusters, with scattered eosinophils, neutrophils and small lymphocytes. Extensive staging investigations revealed no extra‐cutaneous disease. No treatment was given because, within weeks of presentation, the nodules began to regress spontaneously and the patient remains disease‐free 20 months later.
