Does non itchy blotches in the legs suggest skin caner in patients with past hodgkins lymphoma?
Patient: my grandmother has red non itching and non hive formed blotches all over her legs, she has a history of non hodgkins lymphoma x20yrs but has been in remission ever since, she went to the doctor yesterday, he ran lab test that were normal but said he had never seen anything like it and it looked like someone threw scolding hot water on her legs, she has to wait a month to see a Derm but could this be cancer coming to the surface of her skin from the lymphoma? Doctor: HI THANKS FOR YOUR QUERY. THIS CONDITION IS VERY UNLIKELY TO  BE SKIN CANCER FROM NON HODGKINS LYMPHOMA S SHE HAS BEEN IN EXCELLENT REMISSION SINCE THE PAST 20YRS....THE BLOTCHES ON HER LEGS COULD BE DUE TO INFECTION,UNCONTROLLED DIABETES,NEUROPATHY,HOT WATER RELATED ETC....SO YOU TO CONSULT YOUR DERMATOLOGIST FOR EXPERT MANAGEMENT,;ALSO SUSPICION HAS TO BE HIGH FOR TUMOUR RECURRENCE.ALSO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH AN ONCOLOGIST.THANK YOU.
