We present a case of a widespread fixed drug eruption histologically mimicking CD8 positive cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). CTCL has several potential histological and clinical mimics, and accurate diagnosis relies on a combination of clinicopathological correlation and molecular studies. We add generalized fixed drug eruption to the list of possible CTCL mimics.
