A Case of Woringer-Kolopp Disease / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Woringer-Kolopp disease, so called pagetoid reticulosis, is most likely represent a chronic localized from of reticulosis. A 24-year old male patient visited with asymptomatic slowly enlarging, scaly single patch on his left thigh for 10 years duration. Histopathologic studies were taken with H-E stain, D-PAS, transmission electronmicroscopy and monoclonal antibody(OK6) tissue stain. Infiltration of atypical cells showed in the lower portion of epidermis like pagetoid patterned, none in dermis. It seems to be that the cell in this case probably originated from the stimuIated T-lymphocyte.
