A rare case of recurrent primary cutaneous nodular amyloidosis (PCNA) involving both sides of the face is being reported from India where the initial lesion on the right side of face was operated upon and recurred in 1 year. Around the same time the patient developed a similar lesion on the left side. The patient refused any treatment after being informed about the relatively innocuous nature o...

BACKGROUND Primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas constitute a heterogeneous and rare group of diseases with regional particularities in Latin America. OBJECTIVE To determine the clinicopathological features, relative frequency and survival among patients from a Peruvian institution. METHODS Primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas were defined based on the absence of extracutaneous disease at diagno...

subcutaneous panniculitis-like t-cell lymphoma (sptcl) is an infrequent cytotoxic t-cell lymphoma of the skin with a unique immunophenotypic profile. here we describe this lymphoma in a 30-year-old iranian woman. she presented with periorbital edema, mandibular swelling with edematous areas on her face and two small lymph nodes (6-7mm) in the cervical area. histopathological findings revealed l...

NPM-ALK chimeric transcripts, encoded by the t(2;5), lead to an aberrant expression of ALK by CD30+ systemic lymphomas. To determine if t(2;5) is involved in cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders, we studied 37 CD30+ cutaneous lymphoproliferations, 27 mycosis fungoides (MF), and 16 benign inflammatory disorders (BID). NPM-ALK transcripts were detected by nested reverse transcription-polymeras...

Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphocytes which leads to solid tumors in the lymphoid organs involving lymph nodes, spleen, liver, bone marrow and skin. Primary cutaneous lymphoma, a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, can be classified as cutaneous T-cell or cutaneous B-cell lymphoma. These tumors are mostly T-cell origin and mainly locate on trunk, extremities and scalp or forehead. In this...

Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) account for almost 65-92% of all cutaneous lymphomas, many of which usually present with multiple lesions. However, a number of well-recognized and rare types of CTCL, including mycosis fungoides, can present in isolated fashion. These solitary lesions often run a relatively indolent clinical course but often pose diagnostic difficulties. We review histopatholo...

Cutaneous T cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are a heterogeneous group of extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphomas that are characterized by a cutaneous infiltration of malignant monoclonal T lymphocytes. They typically afflict adults with a median age of 55 to 60 years, and the annual incidence is about 0.5 per 100,000. Mycosis fungoides, Sézary syndrome, and primary cutaneous peripheral T cell lymphomas not ...

Introduction: Primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCL) are a heterogeneous group of extra nodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas defined as malignant tumor derived from B, T or natural killer cells. Primary cutaneous follicle centre lymphoma (PCFCL), represents the most common type of primary cutaneous BCell Lymphomas. Case Report:We present the case of three female patients with facial PCFCL, all of them with e...
