Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) comprise an incurable form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and advanced-stage forms of this disease, mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome, have poor prognosis. Previous case series documented long-lasting remission due to a graft-versus-lymphoma effect in patients treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In these studies, lymphoma relapse was common, and treatment-related morbidity and mortality were noted, leading to weaker recommendations for HSCT in this patient population.

Paediatric onset lymphomatoid papulosis: results of a multicentre retrospective cohort study, on behalf of the EORTC Cutaneous Lymphoma Tumours Group (CLTG)
CONCLUSIONS: We report epidemiological data from a large international cohort of children and adolescents with LyP. Overall the prognosis of the disease is good, with excellent survival rates for all patients. Due to increased risk of associated HM, a long-term follow-up should be recommended for LyP patients.PMID:38595050 | DOI:10.1093/bjd/ljae150 (Source: The British Journal of Dermatology)

Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides associated with follicular mucinosis: A case report and mini review
Clin Case Rep. 2024 Apr 5;12(4):e8731. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.8731. eCollection 2024 Apr.ABSTRACTKEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: F-MF is a rare non-classic variant of MF. In the case of hair loss, this should be a diagnostic consideration. The essence of the diagnosis of F-MF is a careful medical history, physical examination, and a combination of immunohistological and molecular analyses (Cureus. 2022; 14:e21231, Ann Saudi Med. 2012; 32:283, Oman Med J. 2012; 27:134, Int J Dermatol. 2016; 55:1396, Saudi Med J. 2018; 39:994 and Case Rep Oncol. 2018; 11:436).ABSTRACT: Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with mult...

Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides associated with follicular mucinosis: A case report and mini review
Histological features of follicular mycosis fungoides. (A-B) Dense superficial and deep dermal lymphocytic infiltrate with a predominantly perifollicular/folliculocentric distribution extending into the mid-dermis. Atypical lymphocytes are located along the basal cell layer of the hair follicle epithelium. Some neoplastic lymphocytes are surrounded by a halo. Although there is epidermal thinning, there is no atypia or epidermotropism, or Pautrier microabscesses. The interfollicular epidermis is not involved. (Hematoxylin and eosin staining, original magnification, A:x20, B:x40). (C-D) Exocytosis of small and medium-sized h...

Genetic predisposition to early mycosis fungoides: investigating genetic polymorphisms in tissue-resident memory T-cell genes
CONCLUSIONS: The presence of genetic variations in one or more TRM functional gene may predispose patients to develop MF. Further studies involving a larger patient population and a comparative analysis of protein expression will be necessary to validate these findings.PMID:38546260 | DOI:10.1177/03000605241239034 (Source: Cell Research)

Genomic profiling of Mycosis Fungoides identifies patients at high risk of disease progression
Blood Adv. 2024 Mar 21:bloodadvances.2023012125. doi: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2023012125. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMycosis fungoides (MF) is the most prevalent primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, with an indolent or aggressive course and poor survival. The pathogenesis of MF remains unclear, and prognostic factors in the early stages are not well-established. Here, we characterized the most recurrent genomic alterations using whole-exome sequencing of 67 samples from 48 patients from Lille University Hospital (France), including 18 sequential samples drawn across stages of the malignancy. Genomic data were analyzed on th...

Milia en plaque on the shoulder as an early manifestations of mycosis fungoides
Milia en plaque (MEP) is an uncommon skin condition identified as retroauricular confluent milium by Boulzer and Fouqet in 1903 [1]. It can be mistaken for other dermatoses like Favre-Racouchot nodular elastosis, steatocystoma multiplex, and nevus comedonicus. Milia en plaque can either be primary or secondary and is typically benign, often triggered by dermatological procedures like cryotherapy, as reported in this journal. In some cases, MEP can arise as a secondary manifestation of other diseases, including folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (FMF). Despite this association, there are few documented cases in the literatur...
