Primary Cutaneous Gamma-Delta T-Cell Lymphoma Mimicking anaplastic lymphoma kinase-1-Negative Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma: A Case Report
Abstract:
Primary cutaneous gamma-delta T-cell lymphoma is a rare and aggressive neoplasm, representing less than 1% of all cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. In this article, we report the case of a 49-year-old woman who presented with a history of generalized skin rash and a recent mass on the left upper extremity, as well as right inguinal soft tissue swelling and splenomegaly. Histologic examination of the mass revealed a diffuse subcutaneous infiltrate of large anaplastic and CD30-positive lymphoid cells with rimming of the adipocytes. This case demonstrates unusual cytologic features in primary cutaneous gamma-delta T-cell lymphoma that mimic the features of anaplastic lymphoma kinase-1-negative anaplastic large-cell lymphoma.
