Cutaneous T-Cell Pseudolymphoma

Top  Previous  Next
•T-Cell Receptor gene rearrangement:
•CTPL (10-19% are clonal)
•CTCL (up to 90% are clonal)
•CTPL (compared with CBPL) = a more heterogenous group, and in most cases the cause is known (e.g. drug, contact, bite, light (i.e. actinic reticuloid)

 

Histology:

Immunohistochemistry:

 

a heterogenous group:

•Lymphomatoid Papulosis
•Lymphomatoid Drug Eruption
•Actinic Reticuloid
•hmtoggle_plus1        Jessner's Lymphocytic Infiltrate (+/-)
•not a pseudolymphoma
•the infiltrate is much less dense than CTPL and is arranged primarily perivascularly
•as a rule, atypical lymphocytes and lymphoid follicles are not present
