ABSTRACT
Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by cutaneous leiomyomas (CLM), uterine leiomyomas, and the increased risk of renal cell carcinoma. Piloleiomyomas develop from the arrectorpili muscle and are usually painful. For 22% of the affected patients, the pain is reported to impair their life quality. Since there are few case reports about cryotherapy for cutaneous leiomyomas in the literature, we have decided to present three patients who had painful cutaneous leiomyomas treated with cryotherapy.

Peripheral T-cell lymphomas expressing follicular helper T-cell (TFH) markers have recently been identified. Although this type of lymphomas consist of malignant proliferation of T-cells, they may also exhibit B-cell clonality. We report a case of a 72-year-old woman with multiple erythematous to violaceous nonscaling plaques and tumors on her trunk. Histopathological analysis revealed a dense infiltration of medium-to-large-sized atypical cells throughout the entire dermis. The result of immunohistochemical analysis showed that the infiltrating T-cells expressed programmed death-1 (PD-1), CD10, Bcl-6, CD3, CD4, CD2, and CD5. The infiltrate also contained scattered atypical large B-cells. Based on the clinical appearance and the histopathological findings, we diagnosed the patient with secondary cutaneous dissemination of peripheral T-cell lymphoma with expression of a T-follicular helper phenotype.
