ABSTRACT

El linfoma T/NK cutáneo símil hidroa vacciniforme (HV) es un linfoma poco común que afecta principalmente a niños asiáticos e indoamericanos. Se inicia con edema, vesículas, costras y cicatrices de tipo vacciniforme. De evolución prolongada, tiende a agravarse con los años, desfigurando y comprometiendo física y psíquicamente al paciente. Debido a la detección tardía del linfoma, en general el pronóstico de vida de estos pacientes es malo. Se presenta una paciente de 20 años con linfoma NK de tipo nasal, que comenzó a los 13 años con un cuadro de HV de mala evolución. Los autores proponen que en pacientes con HV atípica un tratamiento en etapas tempranas de la enfermedad podría mejorar su pronóstico.


The hydroa-like cutaneous T-cell lymphoma is not a very common lymphoma,children from Asia and indoamericans are mainly aff ected. Theybegin with edema, vesicles, crusts and vacciniform scars with a prolongedevolution increasing through to the years. This illness aff ects the patientsphysically and psychologically because of its disfi guring eff ects.Due to the late detection of the lymphoma, generally the prognosis ofthese patients is poor. A patient of 20 years old, who suff ered of NK-celllymphoma nasal type, is presented. She began with hydroa vacciniformeat the age 13 years old, she developed a T/NK lymphoma and died. Theauthors propose that on patients with atypical hydroa vacciniformes, atreatment in earlier stages could off er a better prognosis (Dermatol Argent2009;15(5):350-353).
