    Notes: We reviewed our experience with six T-cell-rich B-cell lymphomas (TRBL) presenting in skin. Immunohistochemical studies were performed on all biopsies. The lymphoid population consisted mainly of CDS and/or UCHL-1 (CD45RO) positive T cells. 5 to 15% of the lymphoid cells stained for the B-cell marker L26 (CD20). Monoclonality of the B-cell component was demonstrated in all cases, utilizing either light chain restriction (5 cases) or clonal immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangement by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (2 cases). One case was confirmed to be monoclonal by both techniques. Additionally, no clonal rearrangements of the T-cell receptor gamma gene were observed. There was considerable morphological variety in these cases. In H&E stained sections, the differential diagnosis included pseudolymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, Lennert's lymphoma and a MALT lymphoma. A significant component of monoclonal plasma cells was present in 3 of 6 cases, suggesting a possible origin from cutaneous immunocytoma. In fact, one of our cases was a biphasic lymphoma displaying TRBL with a small focus of immunocytoma. We conclude that immunophenotypic analysis is necessary for the diagnosis of TRBL. Pathologists should be aware of this type of cutaneous B-cell lymphoma to avoid misinterpretation as a pseudolymphoma.

    Notes: Infantile myofibromatosis is a distinctive type of fibromatosis that usually develops during the immediate perinatal period. There are variants with solitary and multiple tumors. Lesions confined to the skin, soft tissue, and bone carry a good prognosis, showing spontaneous regression. The prognosis, however, is much less favorable when visceral lesions are present and the outcome may be fatal. Only recently it became obvious that there is an adult counterpart of infantile myofibromatosis, characterized by solitary lesions that have a predilection for involve the dermis and show no tendency to regression, although they have an entirely benign biological behavior. These lesions have been named cutaneous myofibroma or solitary myofibroma of adults.We have studied the clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics of 53 examples of cutaneous adult myofibroma. In addition, 2 cases were examined ultrastructurally. The patients were mostly adults with ages ranging from 6-83 years. The lesions presented as solitary, usually painless nodules of variable duration on the skin, usually located on the extremities. Histopathologically, four patterns were identified: nodular or cellular type, multinodular or biphasic type, leiomyoma-like or fascicular type, and vascular type. A correlation between the histopathologic pattern and the lesional age was observed: vascular type of cutaneous adult myofibroma in early lesions, nodular and multinodular lesions in fully developed lesions, and leiomyoma-like or fascicular type in late lesions. Immunohistochemically, the spindle cells were desmin negative, but expressed immunoreactivity for vimentin, pan-smooth muscle actin, and alpha-smooth muscle actin. Ultrastructurally, neoplastic cells showed characteristics of undifferenciated mesenchymal cells with features of fibroblasts, myofibroblasts and pericytes. Primitive vascular formations were seen in the form of irregular clefts between adjoining cells.We conclude that cutaneous adult myofibroma is a little-known benign vascular neoplasm probably derived from myopericytes.

    Notes: Nerve sheath myxoma (NSM) is a rare cutaneous neoplasm, the histogenesis of which is controversial. Fifteen cases of NSM were studied by routine light microscopy and with a broad panel of immunohistochemical stains. NSM were classified into three groups based on cellularity, mucin content and growth pattern. 1) The hypocellular (myxoid) type (5/15 cases) showed frequent encapsulation or sharp circumscription. Immunohistochemically this type was strongly positive for S-100 protein and collagen type IV and variably positive for epithelial membrane antigen. 2) The cellular type (4/15 cases) had scant mucin and ill-defined nodular or infiltrating growth. Immunostaining showed positive reaction for neuron specific enolase (2/4), Leu-7 (1/4) and smooth muscle specific actin (2/4), and was negative with the oilier antibodies. 3) The “mixed type” (6/15 cases) had variable cellularity and mucin content with poor demarcation and variable immunolabeling. We conclude that: 1) there are major light microscopic and immunohistochemical differences between the classical hypocellular (myxoid) and the cellular forms of NSM (neurothekeoma); 2) while the immunohistochemical results support the presence of nerve sheath differentiation in the classical forms of NSM, and to some extent in the mixed forms, there is an absence of convincing evidence of neural differentiation in the cellular variant by either light microscopy or immunohistochemistry; 3) the variable immunophenotypes suggest that differentiation other than neural may take place in CNT.

    Notes: Background:  Pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA) and pityriasis lichenoides chronica (PLC) probably represent the polar ends of the same pathologic process, i.e. pityriasis lichenoides (PL), with intermediate forms in between. Previous studies have demonstrated that the inflammatory infiltrate in PLEVA is composed of cytotoxic suppressor T cells, whereas in PLC the helper/inducer T-cell population drives the immunological answer. Furthermore, monoclonal rearrangement of the T-cell receptor-γ (TCR-γ) genes was repeatedly found both in PLEVA and PLC.Methods:  Forty-one formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue specimens of 40 cases of PL were retrieved from the files of the authors. Immunophenotyping for cytotoxic granular proteins (Tia-1/GMP-17 and Granzyme B) and T-cell-related antigens (n = 41), TCR-γ chain gene analysis (n = 30) and molecular investigations for parvovirus B19 (PVB19) DNA (n = 30) were performed.Results:  Overlapping immunophenotypes were observed in PLEVA and PLC. The dermal and epidermal T cells predominantly expressed CD2, CD3, CD8, and Tia-1 with a variable positivity for CD45RA, CD45RO, and Granzyme B. A monoclonal rearrangement pattern of the TCR-γ genes was detected in three cases (10%). PVB19 DNA was found in nine cases (30%). T-cell monoclonality in conjunction with genomic PVB19 DNA was present in one case.Conclusions:  Our results demonstrate that PL is a skin disorder mediated by the effector cytotoxic T-cell population. The identification of PVB19 DNA in nine cases may be interpreted ambiguously: PVB19 as a true pathogen or as an innocent bystander.

    Notes: Background:  Hobnail hemangioma (targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma) is a small benign vascular tumor of the superficial and mid-dermis. In contrast to its well-characterized histology, it has been unclear whether this tumor arises from blood vessel endothelial cells (BECs) or lymphatic vessel endothelial cells (LECs).Methods:  We analyzed 10 hobnail hemangiomas by immunohistochemistry, using the recently described lymphatic endothelial cell marker, D2-40. For comparison, CD31, CD34, and α-smooth muscle actin expression were studied in consecutive sections of the paraffin-embedded tissues.Results:  In all analyzed vessels, D2-40 labeled exclusively LECs, whereas BECs were consistently negative. In contrast to capillary BECs, either neighboring the tumors or intermingled, neoplastic endothelial cells of all 10 hobnail hemangiomas were strongly labeled by D2-40.Conclusions:  The results suggest a lymphatic origin for hobnail hemangiomas. This view is further supported by the CD34 negativity of endothelial cells and the lack of actin-labeled pericytes in hobnail hemangiomas, both characteristic of lymphatic vessels. Moreover, our analysis revealed that microshunts between neoplastic lymphatic vascular channels and small blood vessels occur, explaining some features of hobnail hemangiomas, such as aneurysmatic microstructures, erythrocytes within and beneath neoplastic vascular spaces, inflammatory changes, scarring, and interstitial hemosiderin deposits.

    Notes: Background: CD30-positive cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) represent a spectrum of diseases ranging from low-grade (lymphomatoid papulosis; LyP) to high-grade (pleomorphic and anaplastic large-cell lymphoma; PTL, ALCL) with overlapping morphologic and immunophenotypic features. The common phenotypic hallmark is the expression of CD30-antigen by the tumor cells which morphologically resemble Reed–Sternberg cells. Although LyP is a non-fatal recurring disorder, it is associated with systemic lymphomas including Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), mycosis fungoides (MF) and ALCL in 5–20% of the cases. Currently there is no marker to predict the development of systemic lymphomas in patients with LyP. Fascin, an actin bundling protein, has recently been shown to be a unique marker found in almost 100% of classical HL. Methods: Because of the association of LyP with HL, fascin expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry in LyP (n = 45), cutaneous CD30+ ALCL (n = 17) and pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma (n = 9) (PTL) and LyP associated with systemic lymphomas (7 HL, 2 ALCL, 1 MF), with the intent to determine if fascin expression can predict disease progression. Results: Fascin was expressed by tumor cells in 11/45 (24%) cases of LyP, 11/17 (64%) cases of ALCL, 7/9 (77%) cases of PTL and 6/10 (60%) cases of LyP associated with systemic lymphomas. Fascin expression in LyP was significantly less frequent than in ALCL (p 〈 0.001) and also than in LyP associated with lymphomas (p 〈 0.05). There was no significant difference of fascin expression within the histological subtypes of LyP. We found no evidence of ALK expression nor of Epstein–Barr virus expression in any case either by in situ hybridization or immunohistochemistry in the LyP cases associated with HL. Conclusions: This is the first study to demonstrate that fascin is expressed in cutaneous CD30+ LPD and that it is a candidate marker of disease progression in LyP.

    Notes: Background:  BRAF, a serine/threonine kinase, is a component of the retrovirus-associated sequence (RAS)–RAF–extracellular-regulated protein kinase (ERK)–MAP kinase signal transduction pathway mediating signals from RAS to ERK.The T1796A single point mutation in exon 15 of the BRAF gene has recently been reported in a high percentage of malignant melanomas and benign melanocytic lesions such as congenital nevi, compound nevi, intradermal nevi and dysplastic nevi. The T1796A mutation has been shown to promote cell proliferation.Methods:  We screened 21 Spitz nevi and six spitzoid malignant melanomas for the presence of the T1796A BRAF mutation.Results:  The T1796A BRAF mutation could not be detected in any of the 21 Spitz nevi but was present in two of the six spitzoid malignant melanomas.Conclusions:  Our results, in conjunction with data from a previous investigation, suggest that the melanocytic proliferation of Spitz nevi might be induced by components of the RAS–RAF–ERK–MAP kinase pathway different from BRAF, possibly combined with other genetic aberrations. The lack of the T1796A BRAF mutation might be of practical importance in distinguishing Spitz nevi from other melanocytic lesions simulating Spitz nevi as a part of a future complex diagnostic assay.

    Notes: Background:  Myoepithelial neoplasms, both benign and malignant, are rare but well-established clinicopathologic entities in the salivary glands, the breast, and the lung. Despite similarities between cutaneous sweat glands and glandular structures in the above-mentioned organs as well as the presence of regular myoepithelial cells around cutaneous eccrine/apocrine glands, the concept of cutaneous myoepithelial neoplasms is still debatable and not commonly accepted.Methods:  Twenty cutaneous myoepithelial neoplasms have been studied histologically and immunohistochemically.Results:  Nine neoplasms showed features of benign mixed tumor of the skin (chondroid syringoma) (five females and four males, age range 19–65 years, all cases arose in the head and neck region). Two cases represented the eccrine and seven the apocrine subtype. Interestingly, in three cases of the apocrine subtype, solid areas composed predominantly of myoepithelial cells were detected; these neoplasms were designated as benign mixed tumors with prominent myoepithelial cells. Nine cutaneous neoplasms were composed of spindled, epithelioid, and plasmocytoid cells without ductal differentiation and immunohistochemically stained variably positive for vimentin, epithelial and myogenic markers, S-100 protein, calponin, and glial fibrillary acidic protein (four females and five males, age range 3–71 years, four cases arose in the head and neck region and one case each on the finger, the thigh, the lower leg, the foot, and the breast, respectively); these neoplasms were designated as cutaneous myoepitheliomas. Two morphologically malignant neoplasms with cytologic and immunohistochemical features of myoepithelial cells arose on the face of a 70-year-old female and a 79-year-old male patient; these neoplasms were designated as malignant cutaneous myoepitheliomas (cutaneous myoepithelial carcinomas).Conclusions:  The study suggests a continuous spectrum of cutaneous myoepithelial neoplasms ranging from benign mixed tumor of the skin to cutaneous myoepithelioma and cutaneous myoepithelial carcinoma. Further studies with extended follow-up information are necessary to establish prognostic factors.
