چکیده

administration of multiple cycles of topical and systemic corticosteroid therapy, topical tazarotene, ciclosporin at a dose of 3 mg/kg/d (whose efficacy cannot be adequately evaluated due to treatment interruption after a month because of failure to attend follow-up), and methotrexate at a maximum dose of 20 mg/wk, which the patient continues to receive. Interestingly, despite hypertrophic LP being considered one of the most refractory variants, the lesions present on our patient’s legs responded very well to corticosteroid treatment. In conclusion, we have described a patient with a rare variant of LP. This case exemplifies the broad clinical spectrum that this disease can present on the palms and soles. The patient developed keratosis punctata-type lesions limited to the palmar creases, a clinical manifestation not previously described, hyperkeratotic interdigital plaques mimicking a superficial fungal infection, and diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma with a marked deterioration of her quality of life. Despite generally being considered a self-limiting disease, the lesions in our case showed a recalcitrant course, with plantar lesions even more refractory to treatment than the hypertrophic LP lesions. The broad morphological variety of palmoplantar lesions, with absence of the classic LP papules, makes diagnosis difficult, and this disease must be included in the differential diagnosis of hyperkeratotic palmoplantar dermatoses. Histology, which shows the typical features of LP, is essential for diagnosis.

Primary Cutaneous CD4-Positive Small/Medium-Sized Pleomorphic T-Cell Lymphoma Following Heart Transplantation

Post-transplantation cutaneous lymphoproliferative diseases (PTCLD) are rare, with 29 cases have so far been reported in the literature-only 4 cases underwent cardiac transplantation. Herein, we report on, to the best of our knowledge, the first case in the English literature of primary cutaneous CD4-positive small/medium-sized pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma in a cardiac transplant recipient.

Methotrexate and etanercept-induced primary cutaneous CD4 positive small/medium-sized pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma*

Immunosuppressive drugs and biological agents may represent a potential risk of lymphoma development in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. But most cases are diffuse, large B-cell lymphomas. Primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium-sized pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma, a provisional entity in the 2005 WHO-EORTC classification of cutaneous lymphomas, is only described in a limited number of reports. To...

Primary cutaneous small-to-medium-sized CD4+ T-cell lymphoma with a granulomatous component.

We describe a patient with primary cutaneous small-tomedium--sized CD4+ T-cell lymphoma, according to the most recent World Health Organization (WHO) classification of cutaneous lymphomas. This lymphoma, previously known as primary cutaneous small-to-medium-sized pleomorphic CD4+ T-cell lymphoma, has a low incidence and good prognosis. The interest in the case presented in this report derives f...

Peripheral T-cell lymphomas unspecified presenting in the skin: analysis of prognostic factors in a group of 82 patients.

In the present study the clinicopathologic and immunophenotypic features of 82 patients with a CD30- peripheral T-cell lymphoma, unspecified, presenting in the skin were evaluated. The purpose of this study was to find out whether subdivision of these lymphomas on the basis of cell size, phenotype, or presentation with only skin lesions is clinically relevant. The study group included 46 primar...
