Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma has only recently been recognized as a distinct clinical entity. Primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the legs generally occurs in elderly patients, in particular women. A 70-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital with her nodular erythematous lesions localized on the left thigh. We performed an ultrasound and color Doppler ultrasoun...

NK/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is characterized by the expression of the NK-cell antigen CD56. Non-nasal NK/T-cell lymphomas are subdivided into primary cutaneous and 4 subtypes of secondary cutaneous lymphomas; nasal type, aggressive, blastic (blastoid), and other specific NK-like cell lymphoma. Aggressive NK/T-cell lymphoma/leukemia is a rare leukemic variant of nasal type NKTCL. We herein report...

BACKGROUND Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma manifested by anetoderma has been reported in 7 cases. In all, the secondary anetoderma developed in lesions of marginal-zone lymphoma or posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder resembling marginal-zone lymphoma. The mechanisms underlying the destruction of elastic tissue in anetoderma are unclear. However, there is growing evidence linking prima...

primary colorectal lymphoma (pcl) is a rare condition that accounts for a small percentage of all gastrointestinal (gi) malignancies. there are several reports in the literature regarding the most common features of pcl. however, primary lymphoma in the rectosigmoid junction has been rarely reported. our case was a 67-year-old male who presented with non-specific symptoms of bowel obstruction w...

INTRODUCTION Cytotoxic CD8+ T-cell lymphomas are only rarely encountered and thus remain only poorly characterized. Our aim was to collect and correlate clinical and histological data of CD8+ skin lymphoma infiltrates to obtain a proper subtype assignment of CD8+ skin lymphoma infiltrates and to derive putative prognostic markers thereof. METHODS Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) ti...

The primary cutaneous CD30-positive (CD30+) T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders are a group of largely indolent diseases that manifest as nodules or tumors of the skin. The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) has developed a modification of the World Health Organization (WHO) lymphoma classification system that specifically categorizes these entities. According t...

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...

The classification of cutaneous lymphomas is multidisciplinary and requires the correlation between clinical, histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular diagnostic elements. In this article, we present four different cases of CD30-positive T-cell lymphoma with cutaneous manifestations. We compare cases with definitive diagnosis of papulosis lymphomatoid type C, primary cutaneous anap...
