  • Title: Hydroa Vacciniforme-Like T-Cell Lymphoma: A Further Brazilian Case.
    Author: Miranda MFR, Santos JEBD, Müller SFR, Bittencourt MJS, Brito AC, Barros Junior JNDS, Xerfan EMS.
    Journal: Am J Dermatopathol; 2018 Mar; 40(3):201-204. PubMed ID: 28248720.
    Abstract:
    Hydroa vacciniforme (HV)-like lymphoma is a rare, usually fatal Epstein-Barr virus-driven lymphoproliferative disease affecting children from Asia, Mexico, and South America. Cutaneous manifestations imitate HV, a benign photodermatosis in which systemic symptoms are not observed, and spontaneous regression occurs later in adolescence or young adulthood. We report a case of HV-like lymphoma in a 12-year-old girl, descendent from an ancient Amazon indigenous tribe that, as far as we know, represents the second Brazilian case ever reported in the medical literature.
