Abstract
ABSTRACT The discovery of CD30 as a diagnostic marker was essential in the identification of not only some lymphomas but also many other solid tumors and benign reactive conditions. Many CD30+ cutaneous disorders and tumors have been categorized since the identification of the marker. With the design of targeted therapies against CD30+ tumoral cells, the interest in CD30 determination was not only diagnostic but also mainly therapeutic. In this article, we explore the historical aspects of the discovery of CD30 and examine the main CD30-related cutaneous pathology, susceptible of anti-CD30 modern treatments.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION CD30 expression has been infrequently described in cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (CBCLs). We examined CD30 expression in reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH) and CBCL and correlated expression with clinicopathologic features. METHODS CD30 was examined in 82 CBCL patients and 10 RLH patients that had been evaluated in our cutaneous lymphoma clinics. The CBCL patients included: primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (PCFCL), Grade 1/2 systemic/nodal follicular lymphoma (SFL); primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma/lymphoproliferative disorder (PCMZL/LPD); systemic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL); primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type (PCDLBCL-LT); and extracutaneous/systemic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (eDLBCL). We scored CD30 expression for intensity and extent and related CD30 expression to age at first diagnosis, sex, site of biopsy, clinical appearance, extracutaneous involvement, multiple cutaneous lesions, B-symptoms, lymphadenopathy, positive positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and positive bone marrow biopsy. RESULTS CD30 expression was identified in 35% of CBCL, ranging from few, weak, scattered cells to strong and diffuse expression. It was most common in PCFCL and was not expressed in PCDLBCL-LT. Rare PCFCL expressed strong, diffuse CD30. Some cases of PCMZL/LPD, SMZL, FL, and RLH showed scattered, strongly positive cells. CD30 expression in CBCL was associated with favorable clinical features: younger age, negative PET/CT, and an LDH within normal limits. CONCLUSIONS CD30 may be expressed in CBCL, possibly causing diagnostic confusion. CD30 expression was most commonly identified in PCFCL and is associated with favorable clinical features. In cases with strong and diffuse expression, CD30 could be a therapeutic target.

Abstract
The Revised European-American Classification of mature lymphoid neoplasms published in 1994 and the 2001, 2008 and 2016 WHO classifications that followed, were the product of international collaboration and consensus amongst haematopathologists, geneticists, molecular scientists and clinicians. Primary cutaneous lymphomas were fully incorporated into this process following the publication of the WHO-EORTC classification of cutaneous lymphomas in 2005. The definition, diagnostic criteria and recommended studies for primary cutaneous lymphoma continue to be refined. The 2022 International Consensus Classification represents the most recent update and an overview of all the main entities presenting primarily in the skin, together with the major changes in classification, are summarized herein. Primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma is segregated from other extranodal marginal zone lymphomas of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) and downgraded to a lymphoproliferative disorder in line with its markedly indolent behaviour. In addition, two subtypes are recognised, based largely but not exclusively on whether they are heavy chain class-switched or IgM positive. Similarly, in keeping with a trend to greater conservatism, primary cutaneous acral CD8 positive T cell lymphoma is now also classified as a lymphoproliferative disorder. In addition, significant new insights into the biology of primary cutaneous lymphoma have also recently been forthcoming and will be presented. These studies have enhanced our knowledge of genetic, epigenetic and transcriptional changes in this group of diseases. They not only identify potential targets for novel therapies, but also raise as yet unanswered questions as to how we categorise cutaneous lymphomas, particularly with respect to relationships with similar lymphomas at extracutaneous sites.

Abstract
ABSTRACT We report a case of mycosis fungoides (MF) in an 18-year-old man whose neoplastic T cells expressed CD4, CD8, and CD56, with no evidence of TCR-delta or Epstein-Barr virus (EBER) expression. Clinically, neither hypopigmentation nor hyperpigmentation nor poikilodermatous skin lesions were present, and the lesions subsided with oral corticoids and retinoids and environmental solar ultraviolet exposure. Our case represents the oldest patient reported so far with nonpoikilodermatous, CD8/CD56 MF and adds to the phenotypic diversity of MF in the pediatric population. This distinct phenotype does not seem to be linked to a more aggressive course than the classic CD-4 positive one.

Abstract
The spectrum of cutaneous CD30-positive lymphoproliferative disorders encompasses both inflammatory and neoplastic conditions. CD30+ Hodgkin and Reed–Sternberg-like cells have been occasionally reported in primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma, where they are thought to represent a side neoplastic component within a dominant background of lymphomatous small B cells. Herein, we describe the histological and molecular findings of three cases of primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphomas with CD30+ H/RS cells, in which next-generation sequencing analysis revealed the clonal population to consist in less than 5% of the cutaneous B-cell infiltrate, providing a thought-provoking focus on a possible main role for CD30+ cells in primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoproliferations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The surface protein CD30 is a therapeutic target of monoclonal antibody therapy. Knowledge of the frequency of CD30 expression and its prognostic relevance is therefore interesting, not only in lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) but also in solid tumors of the skin. METHODS A review was completed in PubMed for all published reports of CD30 expression in cutaneous lymphomas, mastocytosis, epithelial tumors and sarcomas from 1982 to April 2019. Only accessible articles in English and German were considered. Entities with an expected CD30 expression, such as CD30-positive LPD, were not evaluated. RESULTS The electronic research identified 1091 articles and a further 34 articles were obtained from manual bibliographic reference. Overall 91 articles were included that examined CD30 expression in various entities of cutaneous neoplasms and matched the inclusion criteria. CONCLUSION Apart from cutaneous CD30-positive LPD, the best-studied group for CD30 expression was mycosis fungoides (MF). CD30 positivity was found in 32% of classical (patch and plaque stage) and in 59.4% cases of transformed MF. CD30 was also frequently expressed in cutaneous mastocytosis (96.5%). In solid tumors, some single reports describe CD30 expression by tumor cells, but CD30-reactive lymphocytes were frequently observed in the tumor microenvironment (TME), especially in keratoacanthoma (KA).

Abstract
In this review, we present clinical features and detailed histopathologic, immunologic, and molecular information regarding primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma and primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type which together represent two of the three most common types of primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma recognized in the current WHO classification system.1,2 Overall, B-cell lymphomas represent 19-27% of primary cutaneous lymphomas in most large European and American studies3-6 and together, primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma and primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type account for approximately 2/3 to ¾ of these cases.5,7-11 Both subtypes can contain a high content of large B-lymphocytes, although most cases of primary cutaneous follicle center lymphomas exhibit a range in cell size and cytology. Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma, a less commonly-encountered EBV-negative primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma composed of large cells, will be more briefly discussed in this report as well.

Abstract
Cutaneous CD30+ T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (CD30+ T-LPD) represent a spectrum encompassing lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP), primary cutaneous anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (pcALCL) and borderline lesions. They share the expression of CD30 as a common phenotypic marker. They differ however in their clinical presentation, the histological features and clinical course. Moreover, LyP and PcALCL show numerous clinical, histological and phenotypic variants. Overlapping features of LyP and pcALCL with themselves and with other cutaneous and systemic lymphomas emphasize the importance of careful clinicopathologic correlation and staging in the diagnosis of CD30+ T-LPD. Furthermore, an increasing number of inflammatory and infectious skin disorders harboring medium-sized to large CD30+ cells have to be considered in the differential diagnosis. Whereas the expression of CD30 in cutaneous CD30+ T-LPD stands for a favourable prognosis, its expression in other cutaneous and systemic lymphomas has a divergent impact. The assessment of CD30 expression does not only provide prognostic information, but is of potential therapeutic relevance as CD30 can serve as a therapeutic target. This review focuses on the clinicopathological and phenotypic spectrum of CD30+ T-LPD, its differential diagnoses and the role of CD30 as a diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic marker.
