Primary cutaneous gamma/delta (γδ) T-cell lymphoma (PCGDTCL) is a rare, aggressive malignant neoplasm of γδ T lymphocytes arising within the skin and subcutis. We present a challenging case of PCGDTCL diagnosed in a 35-year-old male soldier who presented with constitutional symptoms, pancytopenia, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), disseminated lymphadenopathy, and cutaneous lesions on his extremities and back following a deployment to Iraq and Syria. Histopathologic evaluation of an excisional biopsy showed that PCGDTCL can be focal, localized to the subcutaneous adipose tissue, and obscured by predominant HLH in the surrounding tissues. Pathologists should recognize that the diagnosis of PCGDTCL may be confounded by florid HLH and require multiple biopsies and a comprehensive immunohistochemical panel.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cutaneous Pathology publishes manuscripts broadly relevant to diseases of the skin and mucosae, with the aims of advancing scientific knowledge regarding dermatopathology and enhancing the communication between clinical practitioners and research scientists. Original scientific manuscripts on diagnostic and experimental cutaneous pathology are especially desirable. Timely, pertinent review articles also will be given high priority. Manuscripts based on light, fluorescence, and electron microscopy, histochemistry, immunology, molecular biology, and genetics, as well as allied sciences, are all welcome, provided their principal focus is on cutaneous pathology. Publication time will be kept as short as possible, ensuring that articles will be quickly available to all interested in this speciality.
