Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (CBCL) are a group of rare malignant skin diseases that represent approximately 20%-30% of all primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCL). Previous studies revealed impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients diagnosed with primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Currently, only small-sized studies investigated HRQoL in CBCL patients and lacked detailed analysis of respective subtypes. OBJECTIVES This study aims to investigate HRQoL in CBCL patients to identify independent factors of HRQoL impairment in CBCL patients. METHODS One hundred CBCL patients were recruited from eight German PCL centres in this multicentric, cross-sectional study from 2021 to 2022. The patients completed the dermatologic HRQoL questionnaire Skindex-29 and an investigator-designed 'CBCL-Questionnaire' with additional questions on HRQoL and clinical characteristics. RESULTS The Skindex-29 revealed that HRQoL in CBCL patients is impaired on a mild to moderate level. The multiple regression analysis identified parameters like worries about dying, feeling prejudiced/discriminated and impairment of daily activities to be independently associated with impairment of HRQoL. Highest scores for HRQoL impairment were found in patients with primary cutaneous follicle centre lymphoma while on rituximab treatment and in patients with primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma while on watchful waiting. CONCLUSIONS HRQoL is impaired in CBCL patients, even though, in the face of indolent disease course and favourable prognosis in the majority of cases. Of note, our investigator-designed tool identified worries about dying, feeling prejudiced/discriminated, and the type of treatment to have a negative impact on patients' HRQoL. Our study highlights the importance of a thorough patient-doctor communication to capture overall disease burden because generic HRQoL tools might lack of disease-specific items.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Patients with Sézary syndrome (SS), a leukemic variant of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), are prone to Staphylococcus aureus infections and have a poor prognosis due to treatment resistance. Here, we report that S aureus and staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE) induce drug resistance in malignant T cells against therapeutics commonly used in CTCL. Supernatant from patient-derived, SE-producing S aureus and recombinant SE significantly inhibit cell death induced by histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor romidepsin in primary malignant T cells from patients with SS. Bacterial killing by engineered, bacteriophage-derived, S aureus-specific endolysin (XZ.700) abrogates the effect of S aureus supernatant. Similarly, mutations in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II binding sites of SE type A (SEA) and anti-SEA antibody block induction of resistance. Importantly, SE also triggers resistance to other HDAC inhibitors (vorinostat and resminostat) and chemotherapeutic drugs (doxorubicin and etoposide). Multimodal single-cell sequencing indicates T-cell receptor (TCR), NF-κB, and JAK/STAT signaling pathways (previously associated with drug resistance) as putative mediators of SE-induced drug resistance. In support, inhibition of TCR-signaling and Protein kinase C (upstream of NF-κB) counteracts SE-induced rescue from drug-induced cell death. Inversely, SE cannot rescue from cell death induced by the proteasome/NF-κB inhibitor bortezomib. Inhibition of JAK/STAT only blocks rescue in patients whose malignant T-cell survival is dependent on SE-induced cytokines, suggesting 2 distinct ways SE can induce drug resistance. In conclusion, we show that S aureus enterotoxins induce drug resistance in primary malignant T cells. These findings suggest that S aureus enterotoxins cause clinical treatment resistance in patients with SS, and antibacterial measures may improve the outcome of cancer-directed therapy in patients harboring S aureus.

Abstract
Targeted therapies for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) are limited and curative approaches are lacking. Furthermore, relapses and drug induced side effects are major challenges in the therapeutic management of patients with CTCL, creating an urgent need for new and effective therapies. Pathologic constitutive NF-κB activity leads to apoptosis resistance in CTCL cells and, thus, represents a promising therapeutic target in CTCL. In a preclinical study we showed the potential of dimethyl fumarate (DMF) to block NF-κB and, specifically, kill CTCL cells. To translate these findings to applications in a clinical setting, we performed a multicentric phase 2 study evaluating oral DMF therapy in 25 patients with CTCL stages Ib to IV over 24 weeks (EudraCT number 2014-000924-11/NCT number NCT02546440). End points were safety and efficacy. We evaluated skin involvement (using a modified severity weighted assessment tool [mSWAT]), pruritus, quality of life, and blood involvement, if applicable, as well as translational data. Upon skin analysis, 7 of 23 (30.4%) patients showed a response with >50% reduction in the mSWAT score. Patients with high tumor burden in the skin and blood responded best to DMF therapy. Although not generally significant, DMF also improved pruritus in several patients. Response in the blood was mixed, but we confirmed the NF-κB-inhibiting mechanism of DMF in the blood. The overall tolerability of the DMF therapy was very favorable, with mostly mild side effects. In conclusion, our study presents DMF as an effective and excellently tolerable therapeutic option in CTCL to be further evaluated in a phase 3 study or real-life patient care as well as in combination therapies. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02546440.

Abstract
Leukemic cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (L-CTCL) are lymphoproliferative disorders of skin-homing mature T-cells causing severe symptoms and high mortality through chronic inflammation, tissue destruction, and serious infections. Despite numerous genomic sequencing efforts, recurrent driver mutations have not been identified, but chromosomal losses and gains are frequent and dominant. We integrated genomic landscape analyses with innovative pharmacologic interference studies to identify key vulnerable nodes in L-CTCL. We detected copy number gains of loci containing the STAT3/5 oncogenes in 74% (n = 17/23) of L-CTCL, which correlated with the increased clonal T-cell count in the blood. Dual inhibition of STAT3/5 using small-molecule degraders and multi-kinase blockers abolished L-CTCL cell growth in vitro and ex vivo, whereby PAK kinase inhibition was specifically selective for L-CTCL patient cells carrying STAT3/5 gains. Importantly, the PAK inhibitor FRAx597 demonstrated encouraging anti-leukemic activity in vivo by inhibiting tumor growth and disease dissemination in intradermally xenografted mice. We conclude that STAT3/5 and PAK kinase interaction represents a new therapeutic node to be further explored in L-CTCL.

Abstract
Pyogenic granuloma is one of the most common vascular tumours. The cause of pyogenic granuloma was previously thought to be an inflammatory reaction with consecutive stimulation of endothelial cell proliferation. However, recent studies suggest that pyogenic granuloma may be driven by constitutive activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular profile of sporadic pyogenic granuloma of childhood, using a systematic approach scrutinizing potential aberrations within different oncogenic pathways. Within a retrospective setting pyogenic granuloma of 15 patients was analysed by targeted next generation sequencing using the Oncomine Focus Assay, which includes genes of key tumorigenic signalling pathways. Activating mutations were found in 4 out of 15 cases (27%). Two HRAS hotspot mutations (p.Gly13Arg, p.Ala59Thr), 1 BRAF (p.Val600Glu) mutation and a novel, previously not reported, MAP2K1 hotspot mutation (p.Glu203Lys) were identified. It is notable that all of these genes are involved in constitutive mitogen- activated protein kinase signalling. This study increases the range of underlying genetic alterations in pyogenic granuloma by identifying novel oncogenic mutations in crucial mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway genes. The results provide supporting evidence that activated mitogen-activated protein kinase signalling is a key driver in the pathogenesis of pyogenic granuloma, which might be exploited by targeted treatment approaches for selected cases.

Abstract
HINTERGRUND Chlormethin-Gel ist in Europa zur Therapie von Patienten mit Mycosis fungoides in allen Krankheitsstadien zugelassen. Die optimalen Behandlungsregime hinsichtlich Frequenz, Dosierung, Kombinations- oder Erhaltungstherapien sind noch nicht vollständig etabliert. METHODIK Zehn in der Erforschung und Behandlung kutaner T-Zell-Lymphome erfahrene Experten aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz (DACH-Region) wurden schriftlich zu Indikation, Anwendungsfrequenz, Beurteilung des Therapieerfolgs, Begleittherapie, Nebenwirkungen, Kombinationstherapien in späteren Krankheitsstadien, Erhaltungstherapie und Adhärenz im Rahmen der Therapie der Mycosis fungoides mit Chlormethin-Gel befragt. Die strukturiert aufbereiteten Ergebnisse der Umfrage wurden in einer Konsensuskonferenz diskutiert und Empfehlungen zum Management der Therapie mit Chlormethin-Gel entwickelt. ERGEBNISSE Wesentlich für die Therapie mit Chlormethin-Gel ist ein individuelles, symptomorientiertes Therapiemanagement. Systemische Nebenwirkungen des Wirkstoffs sind wegen der fehlenden systemischen Verfügbarkeit bei topischer Anwendung unwahrscheinlich. Die häufig auftretende allergische oder irritativ-toxische Kontaktdermatitis kann durch eine Anpassung des Therapieregimes, Therapiepausen sowie nebenwirkungsspezifische und unterstützende Maßnahmen häufig beherrscht werden. Ein einschleichender Therapiebeginn mit Anwendung von Chlormethin-Gel jeden zweiten Tag kann die Tolerabilität wesentlich verbessern, insbesondere wenn die Therapie alternierend mit topischen Kortikosteroiden erfolgt. SCHLUSSFOLGERUNGEN Die Anwendung von Chlormethin-Gel bei Mycosis fungoides wird durch die begleitende Kontaktdermatitis häufig eingeschränkt. Mit einem geeigneten Therapie- und Nebenwirkungsmanagement können vermeidbare Therapieabbrüche verhindert werden und mehr Patienten von der Therapie profitieren.

Abstract
Background: Rhabdoid melanoma is a rare variant of malignant melanoma with characteristic cytomorphologic features. Due to the potential loss of conventional melanocytic markers, histopathologic diagnosis is often challenging. We hypothesize that immunostaining for PReferentially expressed Antigen in MElanoma (PRAME) might have the potential to uncover the melanocytic origin of these dedifferentiated tumors. Methods: Four cases of rhabdoid primary melanomas were assessed by immunohistochemistry for expression of PRAME and conventional melanocytic markers. Immunohistochemical expression patterns were analyzed in the rhabdoid primaries and, if available, associated metastases. Results: All four cases of rhabdoid primary melanomas showed a strong nuclear positivity for PRAME, while the expression of conventional melanocytic markers S100, MART-1, SOX-10 and HMB-45 was variable between the analyzed cases. Conclusions: In summary, we report four cases of rhabdoid primary melanoma with high to intermediate expression of PRAME despite the partial and variable loss of other melanocytic markers. Hence, PRAME might facilitate the recognition of this highly aggressive entity to avoid misdiagnosis due to histopathologic pitfalls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The differential diagnosis of atypical dermal non-epidermotropic CD8+lymphocytic infiltrates includes a heterogenous spectrum of lymphoproliferations with overlapping histological and phenotypic features, but divergent clinical manifestations and prognoses. As these neoplasms are rare, more data on their clinicopathological presentation and course are needed. OBJECTIVES To assess the clinical, histological, immunophenotypic features, outcome of and differences between dermal CD8+ lymphoproliferations. METHODS Retrospective analysis of a series of 47 patients and biopsies by the international EORTC Cutaneous Lymphoma Group. RESULTS The dermal CD8+ lymphoproliferations (n=46) could be assigned to one of the following 3 groups: (1) cutaneous acral CD8+ T-cell lymphoma (n=31), characterized mostly by a solitary nodule arising at acral sites, a monotonous dermal infiltrate of small to medium-sized CD8+ lymphocytes with a characteristic dot-like pattern of CD68, a low proliferation rate and an excellent prognosis; (2) primary cutaneous CD8+ peripheral T-cell lymphoma, unspecified/NOS (n=11), presenting with one or multiple rapidly evolving tumors, mostly medium-sized pleomorphic CD8+ tumor cells with expression of several cytotoxic markers and high proliferative activity. After chemotherapy or radiotherapy relapses occurred in one third and 1 of 11 patients died due to lymphoma (9%); (3) The third group (n=4) comprised cutaneous CD8+ lymphoproliferations associated with congenital immunodeficiency syndromes in 2 patients with persisting localized or disseminated violaceous to brownish plaques on the extremities, a histiocyte-rich infiltrate of mostly small CD8+ lymphocytes with subtle atypia and a protracted course, and papular CD8+ eruptions in two patients with acquired immunosuppression (HIV-infection, solid organ transplantation). CONCLUSIONS A constellation of distinct clinical, histopathologic and phenotypic features allows discrimination and assignment of dermal CD8+ infiltrates to distinct disease entities including cutaneous acral CD8+ T-cell lymphoma, primary cutaneous CD8+ peripheral T-cell lymphoma, unspecified/NOS and cutaneous CD8+ lymphoproliferations associated with congenital or acquired immunodeficiency syndromes. Primary cutaneous acral CD8+ lymphoma, assigned a provisional category in current lymphoma classifications, is a distinct and reproducible entity. A correct diagnosis is essential to avoid unnecessarily aggressive treatment for indolent CD8+ lymphoproliferations and to identify cases with underlying immunodeficiency or potential for dismal outcome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Large-cell transformation (LCT) of mycosis fungoides (MF) has been associated with a higher risk of relapse and progression and, consequently, restricted prognosis. Its molecular pathogenesis has not been elucidated yet. MATERIALS AND METHODS In order to address molecular mechanisms of LCT, we performed hybrid capture panel-based sequencing of skin biopsies from 10 patients suffering from MF with LCT versus 17 patients without LCT including follow-up biopsies during clinical course, respectively (51 samples in total). The analyzed patients were attributed to three different groups based on the presence of LCT and clinical behavior. RESULTS While indolent MF cases without LCT did not show pathogenic driver mutations, a high rate of oncogenic alterations was detected in patients with LCT and aggressive clinical courses. Various genes of different oncogenic signaling pathways, including the MAPK and JAK-STAT signaling pathways, as well as epigenetic modifiers were affected. A high inter-individual and distinctive intra-individual mutation diversity was observed. Oncogenic RAS mutations were exclusively detected in patients with LCT. CONCLUSION Our data demonstrate that LCT transition of MF is associated with increased frequency of somatic mutations in cancer-associated genes. In particular, the activation of RAS signaling-together with epigenetic dysregulation-may crucially contribute to the molecular pathogenesis of the LCT phenotype, thus conveying its adverse clinical behavior.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gemcitabine is an effective single-agent chemotherapy used in advanced stages of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). However, gemcitabine used in the current standard regimen is frequently associated with adverse events (AE), such as an increased risk for myelosuppression and severe infections. OBJECTIVES We investigated in this retrospective study the effect of low-dose gemcitabine in pretreated advanced-stage CTCL and in blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasia (BPDCN) regarding overall response (OR), progression-free survival (PFS), and AE. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective, multicenter study was conducted on 64 CTCL and BPDCN patients treated with gemcitabine in average absolute dosage of 1,800 mg/m2 per cycle, which is 50% lower compared to standard dosage of 3,600 mg/m2 per cycle (1,200 mg/m2 day 1, 8, 15). Evaluation of response to therapy and AE was done 4-6 weeks after the sixth cycle. RESULTS OR was 62% with 11% demonstrating a complete response. The median time of PFS was 12 months and median time to next treatment was 7 months. Only 3/63 patients showed serious side effects, e.g., port infection or acute renal failure. Almost 73% of the patients experienced minor to moderate side effects (CTCAE grade 0-2). Fatigue (27.2%), fever (22.7%), and mild blood count alteration (18.2%) were the most common AE. CONCLUSIONS This retrospective analysis supports the use of low-dose gemcitabine therapy in CTCL, demonstrating with 62% OR and PFS of 12 months an almost identical response rate and survival as compared to the standard dose therapy reported in previous studies but with a significantly improved safety profile and tolerability.

Abstract
Although virus-negative Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is characterized by a high frequency of UV-induced mutations, the expression of two viral oncoproteins is regarded as a key mechanism driving Merkel cell polyomavirus‒positive MCC. The cells in which these molecular events initiate MCC oncogenesis have yet not been identified for both MCC subsets. A considerable proportion of virus-negative MCC is found in association with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), suggesting (i) coincidental collision, (ii) one providing a niche for the other, or (iii) one evolving from the other. Whole-exome sequencing of four combined tumors consisting of SCC in situ and Merkel cell polyomavirus‒negative MCC showed many mutations shared between SCC and MCC in all cases, indicating a common ancestry and thereby a keratinocytic origin of these MCCs. Moreover, analyses of the combined cases as well as of pure SCC and MCC suggest that RB1 inactivation in SCC facilitates MCC development and that epigenetic changes may contribute to the SCC/MCC transition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The PROspective Cutaneous Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (PROCLIPI) study is a prospective analysis of an international database. Here we examine front-line treatments and quality of life (QoL) in patients with newly diagnosed mycosis fungoides (MF). OBJECTIVES To identify (i) differences in first-line approaches according to tumour-nodes-metastasis-blood (TNMB) staging; (ii) parameters related to a first-line systemic approach and (iii) response rates and QoL measures. METHODS In total, 395 newly diagnosed patients with early-stage MF (stage IA-IIA) were recruited from 41 centres in 17 countries between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2018 following central clinicopathological review. RESULTS The most common first-line therapy was skin-directed therapy (SDT) (322 cases, 81·5%), while a smaller percentage (44 cases, 11·1%) received systemic therapy. Expectant observation was used in 7·3%. In univariate analysis, the use of systemic therapy was significantly associated with higher clinical stage (IA, 6%; IB, 14%; IIA, 20%; IA-IB vs. IIA, P < 0·001), presence of plaques (T1a/T2a, 5%; T1b/T2b, 17%; P < 0·001), higher modified Severity Weighted Assessment Tool (> 10, 15%; ≤ 10, 7%; P = 0·01) and folliculotropic MF (FMF) (24% vs. 12%, P = 0·001). Multivariate analysis demonstrated significant associations with the presence of plaques (T1b/T2b vs. T1a/T2a, odds ratio 3·07) and FMF (odds ratio 2·83). The overall response rate (ORR) to first-line SDT was 73%, while the ORR to first-line systemic treatments was lower (57%) (P = 0·027). Health-related QoL improved significantly both in patients with responsive disease and in those with stable disease. CONCLUSIONS Disease characteristics such as presence of plaques and FMF influence physician treatment choices, and SDT was superior to systemic therapy even in patients with such disease characteristics. Consequently, future treatment guidelines for early-stage MF need to address these issues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early-stage mycosis fungoides (MF) includes involvement of dermatopathic lymph nodes (LNs) or early lymphomatous LNs. There is a lack of unanimity among current guidelines regarding the indications for initial staging imaging in early-stage presentation of MF in the absence of enlarged palpable LNs. OBJECTIVES To investigate how often imaging is performed in patients with early-stage presentation of MF, to assess the yield of LN imaging, and to determine what disease characteristics promoted imaging. METHODS A review of clinicopathologically confirmed newly diagnosed patients with cutaneous patch/plaque (T1/T2) MF from PROspective Cutaneous Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (PROCLIPI) data. RESULTS PROCLIPI enrolled 375 patients with stage T1/T2 MF: 304 with classical MF and 71 with folliculotropic MF. Imaging was performed in 169 patients (45%): 83 with computed tomography, 18 with positron emission tomography-computed tomography and 68 with ultrasound. Only nine of these (5%) had palpable enlarged (≥ 15 mm) LNs, with an over-representation of plaques, irrespectively of the 10% body surface area cutoff that distinguishes T1 from T2. Folliculotropic MF was not more frequently imaged than classical MF. Radiologically enlarged LNs (≥ 15 mm) were detected in 30 patients (18%); only seven had clinical lymphadenopathy. On multivariate analysis, plaque presentation was the sole parameter significantly associated with radiologically enlarged LNs. Imaging of only clinically enlarged LNs upstaged 4% of patients (seven of 169) to at least IIA, whereas nonselective imaging upstaged another 14% (24 of 169). LN biopsy, performed in eight of 30 patients, identified N3 (extensive lymphomatous involvement) in two and N1 (dermatopathic changes) in six. CONCLUSIONS Physical examination was a poor determinant of LN enlargement or involvement. Presence of plaques was associated with a significant increase in identification of enlarged or involved LNs in patients with early-stage presentation of MF, which may be important when deciding who to image. Imaging increases the detection rate of stage IIA MF, and identifies rare cases of extensive lymphomatous nodes, upstaging them to advanced-stage IVA2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subcutaneous vaccination or desensitization may induce persistent nodules at the injection sites. Without the knowledge of prior injection, histopathological work-up may be challenging. OBJECTIVE Aim of this study was to contribute to the histopathological work-up of unclear subcutaneous nodules, especially their differentiation from cutaneous lymphoma. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed clinical data and histopathological slides of four patients with subcutaneous nodules, which were suspected to suffer from cutaneous T- or B-cell lymphoma. Sections of these cases and 12 negative controls were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and a standardized immunohistochemical panel of B- and T-cell markers including EBER in situ hybridization as well as electron microscopy. RESULTS In all cases, large histiocytes with granular cytoplasm compatible with intracellular aluminum hydroxide were present. EBER in situ hybridization revealed positive staining of these granular histiocytes while staining was absent in negative controls. LIMITATIONS Post hoc completion of medical history revealed that vaccination or specific immunotherapy had been applied before at the biopsy site in only three out of four patients; one patient was lost to follow-up. CONCLUSION EBER in situ hybridization is an adjunctive tool to differentiate aluminum-induced granuloma/lymphoid hyperplasia from other forms of pseudolymphoma and cutaneous B- or T-cell lymphomas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cutaneous peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTL NOS) is an aggressive, but poorly characterized neoplasm. OBJECTIVES The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer cutaneous lymphoma taskforce (EORTC CLTF) investigated 33 biopsies of 30 patients with primary cutaneous PTL NOS to analyse their clinical, histological, immunophenotypic features and outcome. METHODS Retrospective analysis of clinical data and histopathological features by an expert panel. RESULTS Cutaneous PTL NOS manifested clinically either with solitary or disseminated rapidly grown ulcerated tumours or disseminated papulo-nodular lesions. Histologically, a mostly diffuse or nodular infiltrate in the dermis and often extending into the subcutis was found. Epidermotropism was rarely present and only mild and focal. Unusual phenotypes were frequent, e.g. CD3+ /CD4- /CD8- and CD3+ /CD4+ /CD8+ . Moreover, 18% of the cases exhibited an aberrant expression of the B-cell marker CD20 by the tumour cells. All solitary tumours were located on the limbs and presented a high expression of GATA-3 but this did not correlate with outcome and therefore could not serve as a prognostic factor. The prognosis was shown to be generally poor with 10 of 30 patients (33%) dying of lymphoma within the follow-up of 36 months (mean value; range 3-144). The survival rates were 61% after 3 years (CI, 43-85%) and 54% after 5 years (CI, 36-81%). Small to medium-sized morphology of tumour cells was associated with a better outcome than medium to large or large tumour cells. Age, gender, clinical stage, CD4/CD8 phenotype and GATA-3 expression were not associated with prognosis. Chemotherapy was the most common treatment modality, but surgical excision and/or radiotherapy may represent an appropriate first-line treatment for solitary lesions. CONCLUSIONS Cutaneous PTL NOS shows an aggressive course in most patients independent of initial presentation, age and phenotype. Cytomorphology was identified as a prognostic factor. The data indicate a need for more effective treatment modalities in PTL NOS.

Abstract
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive skin cancer frequently caused by the Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV). It is still under discussion, in which cells viral integration and MCC development occurs. Recently, we demonstrated that a virus-positive MCC derived from a trichoblastoma, an epithelial neoplasia bearing Merkel cell (MC) differentiation potential. Accordingly, we hypothesized that MC progenitors may represent an origin of MCPyV-positive MCC. To sustain this hypothesis, phenotypic comparison of trichoblastomas and physiologic human MC progenitors was conducted revealing GLI family zinc finger 1 (GLI1), Keratin 17 (KRT 17), and SRY-box transcription factor 9 (SOX9) expressions in both subsets. Furthermore, GLI1 expression in keratinocytes induced transcription of the MC marker SOX2 supporting a role of GLI1 in human MC differentiation. To assess a possible contribution of the MCPyV T antigens (TA) to the development of an MC-like phenotype, human keratinocytes were transduced with TA. While this led only to induction of KRT8, an early MC marker, combined GLI1 and TA expression gave rise to a more advanced MC phenotype with SOX2, KRT8, and KRT20 expression. Finally, we demonstrated MCPyV-large T antigens’ capacity to inhibit the degradation of the MC master regulator Atonal bHLH transcription factor 1 (ATOH1). In conclusion, our report suggests that MCPyV TA contribute to the acquisition of an MC-like phenotype in epithelial cells.

Abstract
The group of cutaneous CD30-positive lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) comprises two different entities, namely lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) and cutaneous anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma (cALCL). LyP constitutes a benign lymphoproliferation with spontaneously regressing papules, whereas cALCL presents with solitary or multiple skin tumors with a low propensity to disseminate. To elucidate the hitherto largely unknown molecular pathogenesis of these entities, we performed comprehensive next-generation sequencing in a well-characterized cohort of 12 patients. Considering the low tumor cell content of LyP, we applied targeted sequencing technologies with a hybrid capture-based DNA library preparation approach and for the identification of fusion transcripts an anchored multiplex PCR enrichment kit. As the major finding, we detected, in 50% of LPD, genetic events that implied a constitutively activated Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription signaling (JAK-STAT) pathway in these entities. The identified molecular aberrations comprised either pathogenic STAT mutations or oncogenic fusion transcripts comprising effector domains of JAK. With respect to LyP, we report to our knowledge such previously unreported genetic aberrations in this specific entity. The detection of these convergent aberrations within the JAK-STAT signaling pathway deciphers common potential driving mechanisms of lymphomagenesis within LPD being shared between LyP and cALCL. Moreover, the presence of these oncogenic alterations paves the way to develop novel personalized treatment strategies.

Abstract
Cutaneous lymphomas comprise different subgroups with distinct biological behavior. Mycosis fungoides, the most common cutaneous lymphoma, presents with patches, plaques, tumors and erythroderma. Therapeutic options depend on stage and comprise local skin-directed treatment in early stages, while later stages and Sézary syndrome require systemic therapies including bexarotene, interferon or brentuximab vedotin. While the rare CD4-positive lymphoproliferation and acral CD8-positive lymphoma present with an invariably indolent course, cutaneous peripheral T‑cell lymphomas exhibit an aggressive clinical behavior. Among the subgroup of cutaneous B‑cell lymphomas, primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma and follicle center cell lymphoma belong to indolent entities with almost unrestricted overall survival, whereas cutaneous large B‑cell lymphoma presents with a significant risk of systemic dissemination and is associated with high lethality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survival in mycosis fungoides (MF) is varied and may be poor. The PROCLIPI (PROspective Cutaneous Lymphoma International Prognostic Index) study is a web-based data collection system for early-stage MF with legal data-sharing agreements permitting international collaboration in a rare cancer with complex pathology. Clinicopathological data must be 100% complete and in-built intelligence in the database system ensures accurate staging. OBJECTIVES To develop a prognostic index for MF. METHODS Predefined datasets for clinical, haematological, radiological, immunohistochemical, genotypic, treatment and quality of life are collected at first diagnosis of MF and annually to test against survival. Biobanked tissue samples are recorded within a Federated Biobank for translational studies. RESULTS In total, 430 patients were enrolled from 29 centres in 15 countries spanning five continents. Altogether, 348 were confirmed as having early-stage MF at central review. The majority had classical MF (81·6%) with a CD4 phenotype (88·2%). Folliculotropic MF was diagnosed in 17·8%. Most presented with stage I (IA: 49·4%; IB: 42·8%), but 7·8% presented with enlarged lymph nodes (stage IIA). A diagnostic delay between first symptom development and initial diagnosis was frequent [85·6%; median delay 36 months (interquartile range 12-90)]. This highlights the difficulties in accurate diagnosis, which includes lack of a singular diagnostic test for MF. CONCLUSIONS This confirmed early-stage MF cohort is being followed-up to identify prognostic factors, which may allow better management and improve survival by identifying patients at risk of disease progression. This study design is a useful model for collaboration in other rare diseases, especially where pathological diagnosis can be complex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pleomorphic dermal sarcomas (PDS) are frequent UV-induced sarcomas of the skin of intermediate grade malignant potential. Despite the fact that PDS have a noteworthy potential to recur (up to 28%) as well as to metastasize (up to 20%), there are no specific clinical guidelines with respect to follow-up these patients. Moreover, little is known about clinical, histological or molecular prognostic factors in PDS. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to identify risk factors to predict relapse in a large multicentre sample cohort of PDS which could aid to optimize personalized treatment recommendations regarding surgical safety margins and adjuvant radiotherapy. METHODS Patients with a diagnosis of PDS were selected from nine European institutions based on the histopathologic criteria described by Fletcher. Clinicopathologic and follow-up data were collected and statistically analysed calculating univariate hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals by use of the Cox proportional-hazards model and a significance level of P < 0.05. Patients with an incomplete excision of the tumour were excluded. RESULTS Univariate Cox regression analysis of possible prognostic factors for progression-free survival (PFS) performed in 92 patients revealed that an excision margin of <2 cm is significantly associated with relapse of PDS [hazard ratio 4.478 (95% CI 1.536-13.055), P = 0.006]. Ulceration of the tumour was associated with a significantly better prognosis [0.396 (0.174-0.904), P = 0.028] whereas adjuvant radiotherapy did not reach statistical significance to improve prognosis in patients with PDS [0.775 (0.231-2.593), P = 0.679]. Gender, age, immunosuppression, intratumoural necrosis, tumour location, vertical thickness or horizontal diameter did not significantly influence PFS in PDS. CONCLUSION We identified surgical safety margins of <2 cm and absence of ulceration as risk factors for relapse in patients with PDS. These findings may be implemented into both the primary treatment as well as the further monitoring of patients with PDS.

Abstract
Background Targeting epigenetic modifiers is effective in cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL). However, there is a need for further improvement of this therapeutic approach. Here, we compared the mode of action of romidepsin (FK228), an established class I histone deacetylase inhibitor, and domatinostat (4SC-202), a novel inhibitor of class I HDACs, which has been reported to also target the lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A (LSD1). Methods We performed MTS assays and flow cytometric analyses of propidium iodide or annexin V-stained cells to assess drug impact on cellular proliferation, cell cycle distribution, and survival. Histone acetylation and methylation as well as caspase activation was analyzed by immunoblot. Gene expression analysis was performed using NanosString technology. Knockdown and knockout of LSD1 was achieved with shRNA and CRISPR/Cas9, respectively, while the CRISPR/Cas9 synergistic activation mediator system was used to induce expression of endogenous HDACs and LSD1. Furthermore, time-lapse fluorescence microscopy and an in vitro tubulin polymerization assay were applied. Results While FK228 as well as 4SC-202 potently induced cell death in six different CTCL cell lines, only in the case of 4SC-202 death was preceded by an accumulation of cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Surprisingly, apoptosis and accumulation of cells with double DNA content occurred already at 4SC-202 concentrations hardly affecting histone acetylation and methylation, and provoking significantly less changes in gene expression compared to biologically equivalent doses of FK228. Indeed, we provide evidence that the 4SC-202-induced G2/M arrest in CTCL cells is independent of de novo transcription. Furthermore, neither enforced expression of HDAC1 nor knockdown or knockout of LSD1 affected the 4SC-202-induced effects. Since time-lapse microscopy revealed that 4SC-202 could affect mitotic spindle formation, we performed an in vitro tubulin polymerization assay revealing that 4SC-202 can directly inhibit microtubule formation. Conclusions We demonstrate that 4SC-202, a drug currently tested in clinical trials, effectively inhibits growth of CTCL cells. The anti-cancer cell activity of 4SC-202 is however not limited to LSD1-inhibition, modulation of histone modifications, and consecutive alteration of gene expression. Indeed, the compound is also a potent microtubule-destabilizing agent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, NOS (PCLBCL/NOS) is a rare PCLBCL. Only few data are available for this tumor. The aim of this study was to identify clinical and/or immunohistochemical markers (in addition to Bcl-2) that characterize PCLBCL/NOS, assist in differentiating it from PCLBCL, leg type (PCLBCL/LT) and help to assess the clinical course/prognosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Bcl-2- PCLBCL/NOS) cases (n = 14 were compared with Bcl-2+ PCLBCL/LT cases (n = 29). RESULTS PCLBCL/NOS patients were younger, predominantly male and had better survival rates than patients with PCLBCL/LT. Patients with PCLBCL/NOS presented more often with larger plaques limited to one or two contiguous body regions, whereas PCLBCL/LT cases often presented with disseminated lesions. Neoplastic cells had a higher proliferation rate (Ki67) in PCLBCL/LT patients. The tumor microenvironment of PCLBCL/NOS had a more prominent CD3+ infiltrate. Overall survival data for the whole cohort (n = 37) revealed that female gender and Bcl-2 expression correlated with a worse survival rate. Bcl-6 expression and centroblastic subtype correlated with better outcomes. None of the other markers studied (e.g. GCB/non-GCB subtype) correlated with survival rate. CONCLUSIONS PCLBCL/NOS and PCLBCL/LT differ in their clinical behavior and outcomes. Bcl-2 still seems to be the best marker for discriminating between these two subgroups. Bcl-2, female gender and Bcl-6 represent prognostic markers for PCLBCL.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungDie Pachyonychia congenita (PC) wird durch heterozygote Mutationen in den Keratin-Genen KRT6A, KRT6B, KRT6C, KRT16 oder KRT17 verursacht. Die Einteilung in PC Typ 1 und PC Typ 2 nach klinischen Kriterien wurde zugunsten einer molekulargenetischen Klassifikation auf Basis der 5 betroffenen Gene (PC-K6a, PC-K6b, PC-K6c, PC-K16, PC-K17) verlassen. Die Erkrankung wird autosomal-dominant vererbt, Spontanmutationen kommen in etwa 30 % der Fälle vor. Über 97 % der PC-Patienten weisen die 3 Hauptsymptome Verdickung der Fußnägel, Plantarkeratosen und Fußsohlenschmerzen auf. Lokalisierte Steatozystome, Vellushaarzysten oder das diffuse Steatocystoma multiplex zeichnen die PC durch Keratin-17-Mutationen aus. Konnatale oder perinatale Zähne und follikuläre Hyperkeratosen an Ellenbogen, Knien und Rumpf sind ebenfalls häufig mit einer Mutation in KRT17 vergesellschaftet. Wir berichten über eine 40-jährige Patientin mit Steatocystoma multiplex, Verdickung und distaler Dystrophie aller Nägel, schmerzhaften Plantarkeratosen und palmoplantarer Hyperhidrose. Molekulargenetisch konnte mittels Next-Generation-Sequencing eine Mutation im Exon 1 des KRT17-Gens als ursächlich nachgewiesen werden.
