Primary Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma (Gamma Delta subtype).

چکیده
Primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma gamma-delta subtype is an extremely rare entity of all the cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. Our case provides an insight on clinical behavior and treatment response with feasible effective combination chemotherapy. We believe this will be of great interest to clinicians when facing this difficult clinical entity. We present a case of a 66-year-old Malay man with a threeweek history of rapidly growing skin nodules and plaques which spread throughout his body. He was commenced on combination chemotherapy gemcitabine, etoposide, and carboplatin with near complete remission on completion of second cycle but he defaulted. He relapsed within a month and he progressed despite treatment with the same regime. He was salvaged with fludarabine, cytarabine, and vinblastine combination chemotherapy but progressed with brain metastasis and died. However, more investigations and studies need to be done in this relatively unknown rare entity. A rare lymphoma registry might be of help to better understand and treat similar conditions.

The importance of alpha beta versus gamma delta T-cell subset antigen expression in the classification of peripheral T-cell lymphomas is still unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of T-cell receptor-delta 1 (TCR delta 1) expression in primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. TCR delta 1 cellular expression was assessed in skin biopsy specimens of 104 individua...

Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) and primary cutaneous gamma delta T-cell lymphoma (PCGD-TCL) were initially both classified as subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma. In 2008, SPTCL with alpha-beta T-cell receptor subtype was separated from primary cutaneous gamma delta T-cell lymphomas (PCGD-TCL). We report four pediatric cases that demonstrate the heterogeneity ...

Primary cutaneous CD30+ T cell lymphoma is rare lymphoma originally in and confined to the skin. These lymphomas usually present as a large solitary and often ulcerated nodule. Its prognosis is a good and has a good response to radiotherapy. We report a 34- year- old man who had primary cutaneous CD30+T cell lymphoma on his face, which presented as an ulcerated nodule.

T-cell/histiocyte-rich diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is characterized by abundant reactive T-cell and histiocyte infiltration within nodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and only limited cases of primary cutaneous T-cell-rich B-cell lymphoma have been documented. These reactive T-cells usually show a T-helper phenotype. Gamma/delta T-cell is a functionally distinct T-cell lineage, which constit...
