CD8-positive Mycosis Fungoides Masquerading as Pyoderma Gangrenosum
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mycosis fungoides (MF), a primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, accounts for <1% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas. The diagnosis of classic MF is based on a constellation of typical clinical presentation, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and T-cell monoclonality detected by molecular studies. Rarely, atypical clinical presentation may occur. The typical immunohistochemical phenotype is, CD2 +ve, CD3 +ve, CD5 +ve, CD4 +ve, and CD8 - ve. Here, we report a rare case of CD8 +ve MF in a 43-year-male patient who was clinically diagnosed as pyoderma gangrenosum initially. The atypical presentation and rarity of such case have prompted this report.

Cutaneous blastomycosis masquerading as pyoderma gangrenosum.
Cutaneous blastomycosis (CB) is associated with a variety of skin manifestations. Among other entities, CB may be mistaken for pyoderma gangrenosum due to overlap of findings on histopathologic examination. We report a case of CB, initially diagnosed as pyoderma gangrenosum and treated with steroids, leading to disseminated blastomycosis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Ichthyosiform mycosis fungoides (MF) is a rare variant of MF, occurring in 3.5% of MF patients according to one study (1, 2). Patients with ichthyosiform MF exhibit clinical manifestations similar to those of acquired ichthyosis; histologically, however, they show epidermotropism of atypical lymphocytes. Ichthyosiform MF is characterized by indolent course and usually good response to photother...

Background: Erythroderma is an inflammatory disorder. It has various differential diagnoses, among which one of the most important is mycosis fungoides. Erythroderma itself can be a challenging disorder. Diagnosis of a mycosis fungoides patient presenting with erythroderma specially requires a careful assessment of the peripheral blood. Studies such as CD markers can lead to a more accura...

CTCL: cutaneous T-cell lymphoma FOLFOX: folinic acid, fluorouracil, oxaliplatin MF: mycosis fungoides INTRODUCTION Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). The neoplastic T cells in MF are usually mature CD4 T cells, and CD8 phenotype expression is rarely observed. There are 2 categories of CD8 CTCL, one with aggressive behavior and one with indolent b...
