  • Title: [Comparative analysis of the cell composition of the infiltrate in malignant lymphoma of the skin].
    Author: Prikolab IP, Ivanov AA.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 1987; 59(12):91-6. PubMed ID: 3502296.
    Abstract:
    Electron microscopy was used to investigate skin biopsy specimens in 20 patients with different clinicomorphological types of T-cell skin lymphomas (TCSL) over time. At early stages prognosis was based on the level of macrophage and fibroblast differentiation in the infiltrate: the more mature nonlymphoid elements were, the graver was a course of disease. Therefore patch and papulous variants of primary cutaneous reticulosis (atrophic parapsoriasis and mycosis fungoides with follicular mucinosis) were classified as TCSL of a low and medium degree of malignancy. The classical and beheaded forms of mycosis fungoides were attributed to a medium and high degree of malignancy.
