Unique Presentation of Leukemic Cutaneous CD3/TCR- Phenotype T-Cell Lymphoma with Complete Remission after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Histopathological examination of the ichthyotic skin showed perivascular dermal lymphoid cell infiltration in the superficial dermis and nodular and dense lymphoid cellular infiltration in the deep dermis. Lymphoid cells were CD3+ and CD20with a loss of CD7 expression. There were numerous (>25%) large, anaplastic cells with CD30 positivity among the lymphoid infiltrate. Clonal expansion of T cells in the lesional skin was demonstrated.

Long-term remission after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has proved to be an effective therapeutic option in various hematologic neoplastic disorders. Because patients with advanced cutaneous T-cell lymphoma have a poor prognosis, with minimal possibilities of sustained remission, we studied the therapeutic potential of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. OBSERVATIONS Three young pa...

Background: Burkitt lymphoma is a common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in children. It has a rapid and aggressive clinical course with frequent involvement of bone marrow and central nervous system. Systemic chemotherapy is the mainstay of the treatment for this malignancy in children. In this systematic review, we discuss autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSC...

Survival of patients with multiple myeloma has improved substantially because of availability of new therapies including autotransplants, immunomodulating drugs and proteasome-inhibitors. Second primary cancers have emerged as an important determinant of morbidity and mortality among cancer survivors. Even though there is an increased risk of new cancers of the lymphoreticular and haematopoetic...

متن کاملPrimary cutaneous follicular helper T-cell lymphoma treated with allogeneic bone marrow transplantation: immunohistochemical comparison with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma.
Primary cutaneous follicular helper T (TFH)-cell lymphoma has recently been proposed, and is characterized by proliferation of malignant T cells expressing TFH-cell markers, such as CXCL13, accompanied by numerous reactive B cells. We report here a patient whose skin histology showed massive infiltration of both T and B cells, with a proliferation of arborizing high endothelial venules and foll...
