RESUMEN
Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare and aggressive hematological malignancy with limited treatment options and poor prognosis. This case report presents the clinical course and management of a 62-year-old man with BPDCN in a resource-limited setting. The patient presented with constitutional symptoms and abnormal complete blood count findings. Initial treatment was performed with an acute lymphoblastic leukemia-based chemotherapy regimen, and the patient achieved complete remission, but the disease recurred 7 months after the initial diagnosis was confirmed in April 2022. The subsequent therapy was not effective, and the patient died during treatment. This case highlights the challenges in managing BPDCN and the need for further research to improve outcomes.
