  • Title: Primary cutaneous aggressive epidermotropic CD8+ T-cell lymphoma with a CD15(+)CD30(-) phenotype.
    Author: Yoshizawa N, Yagi H, Horibe T, Takigawa M, Sugiura M.

    Abstract:
    Primary cutaneous aggressive epidermotropic CD8(+) T-cell lymphoma (CD8(+)TCL) is an extremely rare entity with distinct clinicopathological features. While the CD15 antigen is typically associated with classic Hodgkin's lymphoma, aggressive peripheral T-cell lymphomas, including advanced stage cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, rarely express this molecule. We report a case of primary cutaneous aggressive epidermotropic CD8(+)TCL, in which lymphoma cells are CD15(+)CD30(-) with a medium-to-large pleomorphic phenotype. Although the functional characteristics of CD15 expression in the cutaneous lymphomas are not fully understood, the poor prognosis of primary cutaneous aggressive epidermotropic CD8(+)TCL might be associated with the presence of this molecule in our case.
