Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary cutaneous lymphomas are a group of T- (CTCL) and B-cell (CBCL) malignancies. These diseases have different clinical presentations and prognosis. Our knowledge on their epidemiology is limited. Aim of this review was to summarise recent findings on the incidence of CTCL and CBCL, how they change over time, and to describe possible causes and consequences. We found that although there are important differences in the epidemiology of cutaneous lymphomas in different countries, the relative frequency of certain, especially rare lymphomas remains stable. Several studies described growing incidences of both CTCL and CBCL. The emergence of new diagnostic criteria, a more precise definition of the entities and new biomarkers enable a better classification of cases.

Dobos G, Pohrt A, Ram-Wolff C, Lebbé C, Bouaziz JD, Battistella M, Bagot M, de Masson A. Epidemiology of Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphomas: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of 16,953 Patients. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12102921. [PMID: 33050643 PMCID: PMC7600606 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12102921] [Citation(s) in RCA: 53] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2020] [Revised: 09/24/2020] [Accepted: 10/06/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are rare malignant diseases. In this study we have compared the cutaneous lymphoma registries of different countries, which included information on at least 100 patients. The frequencies of each CTCL subtype were compared within and between continents. We found that the registries differed importantly in terms of size and quality. Some rare CTCL subtypes, such as NK/T-cell lymphoma or subcutaneous panniculitis-like lymphomas, were more frequent in Asian countries, while others were evenly distributed. We discuss possible reasons for this and provide suggestions on how to build future CTCL registries. Abstract Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are a heterogenous group of rare diseases. Many studies have reported on local epidemiology or geographic clustering, however we lack information from a global perspective. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in Medline and the Cochrane Library based on a previously registered protocol and according to the preferred reporting of items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA). We selected publications that enrolled at least 100 patients with primary cutaneous lymphomas according to the current classifications. The relative frequencies (proportions) of subtypes were compared between studies and geographic regions in a meta-analysis. In total, 26 studies met our inclusion criteria, reporting on altogether 16,953 patients. Within primary cutaneous lymphomas, CTCL appeared to be 15% more frequent in Asian populations. Mycosis fungoides (MF) accounted for 62% of CTCL, with an important heterogeneity in frequencies between studies and continents. The proportion of Sézary syndrome (SS) was 3%, stable worldwide. Rare CTCL, such as NK/T-cell lymphoma or subcutaneous panniculitis-like lymphoma, were more frequent in Asian studies. This global meta-analysis of CTCL confirmed the predominance of CTCL among primary cutaneous lymphomas (83% on average) in the three analyzed continents, most of which were MF cases. It revealed the same proportions of SS across continents, and the heterogeneity of MF frequencies, suggesting the possible role of environmental factors in the pathophysiology of the latter. Registration number: CRD42020148295 (PROSPERO).

A Unique Presentation of Cutaneous Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. Case Rep Dermatol Med 2020; 2020:8310602. [PMID: 32318298 PMCID: PMC7166262 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8310602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2019] [Accepted: 03/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (CBCL) are rare heterogeneous neoplastic diseases composing about 22.5% of all cutaneous lymphomas. These diseases can be divided into primary and secondary cutaneous variants with primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (PCBCL) divided into three distinct entities including primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma, primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma, and primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type (PCDLBCL, LT). Secondary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (CDLBCL) and PCDLBCL, LT are more aggressive neoplasms compared to the aforementioned CBCL with survival rates of 37% and 50% after 5 years, respectively. CDLBCL can present as cutaneous or subcutaneous nodules, papular lesions, or indurated plaques. Here, we present a case of CDLBCL of an 88-year-old female that was mistaken for lower extremity cellulitis with phlegmon. Our patient failed two courses of antibiotic therapy as an outpatient and received a third as an inpatient before a cutaneous biopsy clinched the diagnosis.

Abstract
Background While mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS) are the most common cutaneous lymphomas (CLs), there is limited data about non-MF/SS CLs. Objective We aimed to evaluate clinical characteristics of non-MF/SS CLs. Methods A retrospective analysis evaluated patients with non-MF/SS CLs covering a period of 17 years. The records of 59 patients with non-MF/SS CLs were reviewed for demographic profiles, clinical features, and survival outcomes. Results Our series consisted of 38 non-MF/SS cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) and 21 cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (CBCLs). In the group of non-MF/SS CTCLs including 33 primary and five secondary cases, there were cases of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (15.3% of non-MF/SS CLs), extranodal natural killer/ T-cell lymphoma (13.5%), peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (13,5%), adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (8.5%), subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (6.8%) and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (6.8%). In the group of CBCLs including nine primary and 12 secondary cases, there were cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (22.0%), mantle cell lymphoma (5.1%), extranodal marginal lymphoma of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (3.4%), follicle center lymphoma (3.4%) and intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (1.7%). The overall survivals were 57 months for non-MF/SS CTCLs and 41.5 months for CBCLs. Elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase level, thrombocytopenia, multiple anatomical sites of skin involvement and lower albumin level may be associated with poor prognosis in non-MF/SS CTCLs, but the latter two were not in CBCLs. Conclusion With this series, we hope to provide indigenous data and outcome of non-MF/SS CLs. The overall survival of non-MF/SS CTCLs was better than CBCLs.

Abstract
Primary cutaneous lymphomas are the second most common form of extra-nodal lymphomas. They have special characteristics compared with other lymphomas. They are most frequently of T-cell origin and they generally have a much more indolent course than lymphomas of similar histology in other locations. Mycosis fungoides is the most common type of cutaneous lymphoma. Primary cutaneous lymphomas remain confined to the skin for a long time. Skin-directed therapies are the main treatments; systemic treatments are not very effective for the skin lesions. Skin-directed therapies used for the early and thin lesions are topical corticosteroids, phototherapy and topical retinoids and, for the more widespread or thick lesions, topical nitrogen mustard and radiation. Radiation therapy is highly effective and is indicated in virtually all cases of localised disease. Radiation therapy may be given to the whole skin surface, so-called total skin electron beam therapy. However, if the disease spreads to other organs, systemic treatments are indicated, often combined with skin-directed therapies. Conventional cytotoxic therapy is less effective in cutaneous lymphomas. The commonly used therapies, such as interferon, enhanced anti-tumour immunity and the recent advances in immune therapies may improve our treatments for cutaneous lymphomas.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe imaging findings in superficial soft tissue lymphomas, especially those located in the skin and subcutaneous layer. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 44 pathologically confirmed superficial lymphoma lesions. Imaging analysis included the size, margin, location, morphology, homogeneity and multiplicity. RESULTS A nodular form was the most common (21/44, 47.7%) morphology, and of them, 18 demonstrated a streaky appearance. Most of the lesions demonstrated ill-defined margins (26/44, 59.1%) and homogeneous patterns (35/44, 79.5%). CONCLUSIONS The imaging findings of superficial soft tissue lymphomas were non-specific. However, if images show multiple nodular lesions with ill-defined margins, we should consider this diagnosis.

Abstract
Background: Nonmycosis fungoides/Sézary syndrome (non-MF/SS) primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCL) are currently categorized under the 2005-World Health Organization/European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (WHO-EORTC) classification for PCL. These differ in behavior from secondary cutaneous lymphomas (SCL) and to lymphomas limited to the oral cavity (primary oral lymphomas [POL]) both categorized under the 2016-WHO classification for lymphoid neoplasms. Aims: This study aims to report the first series of non-MF/SS PCL, SCL, and POL in a Mexican cohort, examine the applicability of current classification systems and compare our findings with those from foreign cohorts. Materials and Methods: Eighteen non-MF/SS PCL, four SCL, and two POL with available tissue for morphology and immunophenotypic assessment were reclassified according to the 2005-WHO/EORTC and 2016-WHO classifications. Results: Non-MF/SS PCLs were primarily of T-cell origin (61%) where CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorders predominated, followed by Epstein–Barr virus-induced lymphomas, and peripheral T-cell lymphomas, not otherwise specified. Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (BCL) were primarily of follicle center cell origin followed by postgerminal lymphomas of the diffuse large BCL variety. Conclusions: Most non-MF/SS PCL, SCL, and POL can be adequately categorized according to the 2005-WHO/EORTC and 2016-WHO classification systems, even when dealing with clinically atypical cases. The relative frequencies in our cohort hold closer similarities to Asian registries than from those of Europe/USA, supporting the concept of individual and/or racial susceptibility, and the notion of geographical variances in the rate of lymphomas. In particular, such disparity may arise from viral-induced lymphomas which might show partial geographical restriction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relative frequency, clinical features and survival outcomes of secondary cutaneous lymphoma remain poorly understood. OBJECTIVES To determine the clinical characteristics and survival outcomes of secondary cutaneous lymphoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present retrospective cohort study included all 106 patients who presented with secondary cutaneous lymphoma. Patient medical records were reviewed to determine the clinical features, survival outcomes and prognostic factors. Survival outcomes were analysed by using the Kaplan-Meier method and comparisons between lymphoma cell lineages [T or natural killer (T-/NK)-cell vs. B-cell lymphoma] were performed using the log-rank test. RESULTS Secondary cutaneous lymphomas consisted of mature T-/NK-cell lymphomas (56%), mature B-cell lymphomas (35%), immature haematopoietic malignancies (8%) and Hodgkin lymphoma (1%). The T-/NK-cell lineage lymphoma cases were more likely to have multiple and disseminated skin lesions than the B-cell lineage lymphoma cases. The lymphoma cell lineage did not significantly influence survival outcomes. Patients who showed cutaneous involvement within 6 months of the initial diagnosis of primary disease had a poorer overall survival (OS) outcome than patients who developed cutaneous dissemination 6 or more months after the initial diagnosis (P < 0.001). Patients with disseminated skin lesions had a poorer OS than patients with localized skin lesions (P = 0.028). The two lymphoma cell lineages differed in terms of prognostic factors that influenced survival. CONCLUSIONS Skin lesion characteristics such as time point of appearance and extent affect the survival outcomes of secondary cutaneous lymphoma. Cell lineage did not influence survival outcomes but the two lineages are associated with different prognostic factors.

Abstract
Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) represents a rare subclassification of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). We present a case of a 21-year-old female who presented with a 1-month history of pain in the left buttock and hip, tender left inguinal lymph nodes, fevers, and night sweats. Percutaneous core needle biopsy was diagnostic for SPTCL with CD8+ cells positive for cytotoxic granules. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of SPTCL with a review of the literature are discussed.

Abstract
Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs), other than mycosis fungoides/Sézary syndrome and the group of cutaneous CD30(+) lymphoproliferative disorders, are rare. These include subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL); extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type; primary cutaneous peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL, NOS); and rare subtypes of PTCL, NOS. Apart from SPTCL and primary cutaneous CD4-positive small-medium pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma, these lymphomas have in common aggressive clinical behavior and poor prognosis. Differentiation between these different types of CTCL may be difficult and requires integration of histopathologic findings with clinical data and the results of phenotypic and often molecular genetic studies.

Abstract
We describe a 72-year-old woman with striking cutaneous telangiectatic lesions that chronologically preceded presentation with cauda equina syndrome. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was confirmed on skin biopsies from plaques on the abdominal wall and left ankle, the possibilities including primary cutaneous DLBCL leg-type or systemic DLBCL. We speculate that this clinical appearance may arise due to lymphatic or vascular congestion resulting from the dense lymphoid infiltrate in this case.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relative frequency and the clinicopathological characteristics of lymphoma may vary according to geography and ethnicity. Data are limited regarding the features of cutaneous lymphoma (CL) presented according to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) classification (2005) in Korea. OBJECTIVE The study determined the relative frequency of CL in Korea and presented the clinical relevance of CL based on the WHO-EORTC classification. METHODS We reclassified the cases of CL collected over a 16-year period in a tertiary institution-based dermatologic setting in Korea. RESULTS In all, 164 cases were divided into 96 primary and 68 secondary CL. The group of primary CL consisted of T- and natural killer-cell lymphomas (84.3%), B-cell lymphomas (13.5%), and immature hematopoietic malignancies (2%). The Korean population presented with a higher rate of T-cell and natural killer-/T-cell CL and a lower rate of cutaneous B-cell lymphoma than Western countries. Compared with 2003 Korean data, the rate of mycosis fungoides was lower and the rate of nasal and nasal-type natural killer-/T-cell lymphomas was higher. LIMITATIONS This study was retrospective and based on a single-center experience. CONCLUSION As the relative frequency of lymphomas differs widely with geography and ethnicity, there is a need to collect more data to describe the epidemiologic characteristics in the Far East.

Abstract
CONTEXT Primary cutaneous lymphoma is an uncommon, extranodal lymphoma, and it is usually more indolent with a better prognosis than its histologically similar systemic counterpart is. OBJECTIVES To illustrate the clinicopathologic features of cutaneous lymphomas in Taiwan and to compare the relative frequencies of subtypes of cutaneous lymphoma among different geographic areas. DESIGN A total of 56 patients with cutaneous lymphomas were retrospectively collected and were reclassified according to the 2005 World Health Organization and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer and the 2008 World Health Organization classifications. The data were compared with those from other studies for different geographic areas. RESULTS Thirty-one (55%) tumors were primary cutaneous lymphomas, and twenty-five (45%) tumors were secondary or concurrent cutaneous lymphomas. Among primary cutaneous lymphomas, 23 cases (74%) were T-cell or natural killer-cell lymphomas, and 8 cases (26%) were B-cell lymphomas. The most common types were extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, and primary cutaneous peripheral T-cell lymphoma, unspecified (5 cases each; 16%). In contrast with other primary cutaneous B-cell and T-cell lymphomas, either primary or secondary extranodal cutaneous natural killer/T-cell lymphomas, nasal type, had extremely poor prognoses (1-year overall survival, 0%). CONCLUSIONS This study showed that the frequency of subtypes of primary cutaneous lymphoma varied in different geographic areas. Compared with the Western countries, there was a higher frequency of extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, and a lower frequency of mycosis fungoides in Taiwan. Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, also had an extremely poor prognosis compared with other lymphomas.

Abstract
Panniculitic T-cell lymphoma is a rare, aggressive variant of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, with fewer than 100 cases described. The main problem is its diagnosis, as both the clinical and the histological features may simulate benign panniculitis. We present the case of a 34-year-old male patient, who had presented with an indurated plaque, sclerodermiform in appearance, on the front of the right thigh for 4 months, later accompanied by fever and constitutional symptoms. The initial diagnosis was cellulitis, but no clinical improvement was seen despite systemic antibiotic therapy. After two skin biopsies, the patient was diagnosed with panniculitic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The patient was treated with 8 cycles of CHOP chemotherapy, with resolution of the symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the radiologic findings of primary peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) of the face other than mycosis fungoides. METHODS Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of 5 consecutive patients with pathologically proven primary facial PTCL other than mycosis fungoides were retrospectively evaluated. Patients with PTCL involving the sinonasal cavity or lymph nodes were excluded. RESULTS Diagnoses of patients included in this study consisted of natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (n = 2), subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (n = 1), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (n = 1), and PTCL not otherwise specified (n = 1). Infiltration or swelling of the superficial space of the face was noted on both CT and MRI, mimicking inflammation or infection. Also seen were well-enhancing small nodular (n = 2) or infiltrative mass-like lesions (n = 2) within the areas of infiltration, which showed intermediate signal intensity on T2-weighted images. One patient demonstrated infiltration and swelling alone. CONCLUSIONS Primary facial PTCL is a rarely encountered tumor and demonstrates infiltration or swelling mimicking inflammation or infection. Nodular or infiltrative mass-like lesions may be helpful for its diagnosis.
