I expect CD30 was positive. Anaplastic large T cell lymphoma.

Absolutely correct. Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma, determined after a complete clinical workup to exclude systemic ALCL. The immunostain posted is CD30, blazingly positive with focal Golgi staining. Happy New Year, everyone!!

A post script to this case: The patient never had waxing and waning papules, and this lesion was a nodule that did not regress. This history is important to solicit as these findings are identical to those seen in lesions of type C lymphomatoid papulosis. A non regressing solitary nodule is more typical of anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
