Abstract
Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is an aggressive hematological malignancy derived from the precursors of plasmacytoid dendritic cells. Although disease awareness has increased over time, BPDCN represents a rare disease with an aggressive clinical course and a dismal prognosis. Due to the overlap in clinical and histological features with a large spectrum of inflammatory and neoplastic diseases, BPDCN is difficult to diagnose. Furthermore, given the rarity of the disease, treatment options for BPDCN are limited, sometimes changing by practitioner and hospitals. Treatment options range from conventional chemotherapy to the recently approved biologic agent tagraxofusp and stem cell transplantation. Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach with coordination among dermatologists, pathologists, and hematologists is ultimately imperative to reach the correct diagnosis and management of BPDCN.
