Abstract
Histopathologic, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural studies were carried out on cutaneous lesions of a 43-year-old man with an aggressive peripheral T-cell lymphoma involving the lung, central nervous system, bone marrow, and skin. Some results are distinctive and not previously reported, such as extremely strong epidermotropism, aberrant CD8+ immunophenotype with lack of one pan T antigen (CD5), and giant cytoplasmic granules. We discuss these features comparing them with other hematologic malignancies usually involving the skin, such as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, angiocentric lymphomas, and malignant histiocytosis.
