Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm is a rare, highly aggressive hematopoietic malignancy that is characterized by the clonal proliferation of immature or precursors of plasmacytoid dendritic cells. We report the case of 70-year-old woman affected by blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm who died despite 6 months of chemotherapy.
