The case of a 56-year-old black male patient from the province of Manica, Mozambique, that presented an anaplastic malignant non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma mainly located in the skin of the posterior thoracic region, was described. The lesion and topographic picture made us think about other types of tumors or deep mycosis. The diagnosis of CD 30+ anaplastic malignant large-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma was corroborated by histology, immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry. The treatment was initiated with combination chemotherapy, CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone), 6 cycles at intervals of 3 weeks among them. A satisfactory evolution was attained. It was observed an involution of all the skin lesions. At present, this patient is under observation.

Keywords : LYMPHOMA, NON-HODKING [diagnosis]; LYMPHOMA, LARGE CELL [diagnosis]; DRUG THERAPY, COMBINATION.
