چکیده
To the Editor: Dermatopathic lymphadenitis (DL) represents a rare benign lymphatic hyperplasia commonly associated with exfoliative or eczematoid dermatitis. DL was also reported to be a potential mimicker of lymphoma.[1] Here, we report the 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose (18F‐FDG) positron emission tomography/ computer tomography (PET/CT) results and the histological findings of a 40‐year‐old female patient with DL.

Dermatopathic Lymphadenitis Mimicking Breast Cancer with Lymphatic Metastasis: A Case Report and Discussion
BACKGROUND Dermatopathic lymphadenitis is a rare benign lymphatic hyperplasia commonly associated with exfoliative or eczematoid dermatitis. Of interest, this condition can be confused with lymphatic metastasis in adults. CASE REPORT In this report, we describe the case of a 56-year-old woman diagnosed with left breast invasive ductal carcinoma in remission, who presented with dermatopathic lym...
متن کاملSurvey of the eventual diagnosis in 600 cases referred for a second histological opinion after an initial biopsy diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease.
In a series of 600 cases of lymphadenopathy in which an initial histological diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease was reviewed in a reference laboratory this interpretation was confirmed in 317 cases (53%). In the 283 other cases the diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease was considered to be mistaken. The condition most frequently confused with Hodgkin's disease was chronic non-specific lymphadenitis. Retic...
متن کاملIncrease of DC-LAMP+ mature dendritic cell subsets in dermatopathic lymphadenitis of mycosis fungoides.
BACKGROUND Little is known about the immunological milieu of the skin-draining lymph nodes (LNs) in mycosis fungoides (MF). OBJECTIVES We studied dendritic cell (DC) subsets in the dermatopathic lymphadenitis of MF patients. METHODS We immunohistochemically examined DC subsets and their distribution in 16 LN samples from 14 patients with MF (N1 LN, eight patients; N2, four; and N3, four), a...
متن کاملDermatopathic lymphadenitis in a patient with pemphigus vulgaris
Dermatopathic lymphadenitis (DL) is a reactive lymphoid hyperplasia that commonly involves the regional lymph nodes in patients with chronic dermatoses, such as exfoliative dermatitis, toxic-shock syndrome, pemphigus, psoriasis, eczema, and, in severe cases, mycosis fungoides. Diagnosis of DL depends on the histopathologic characteristics of paracortical T-zone expansion with melanin, hemosider...
متن کاملEarly TCR- and TCR- PCR detection of T-cell clonality indicates minimal tumor disease in lymph nodes of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma: diagnostic and prognostic implications
The lymph nodes are generally the first extracutaneous manifestation in patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL); however, their early involvement is difficult to assess. The aim of our study was to define the diagnostic and prognostic value of T-cell clonality analysis for a more precise assessment of lymph node involvement in CTCL. T-cell clonality was determined by 2 independent polyme...
