ABSTRACT

Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma (NXG) is a progressive non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis with a predilection for the periorbital area. NXG is most commonly associated with monoclonal gammopathy and ophthalmic complications. The authors present a 69-year-old man who was evaluated for a left upper eyelid nodule and plaques on the lower extremities, trunk, abdomen, and right upper extremity. Biopsy of the eyelid was supportive for NXG. Serum protein electrophoresis was positive for a monoclonal gammopathy, IgG light chain kappa. MRI showed preseptal involvement. The periocular nodules cleared with a high dose of prednisone; however, the other skin lesions persisted. Bone marrow biopsy showed kappa-restricted 6% plasma cells and he was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin. This case illustrates the importance of clinicopathologic correlations to render an NXG diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

The recently published 2016 revision of the WHO classification of lymphoid neoplasms includes primary cutaneous acral CD8-positive T-cell lymphoma (PCATCL) as a provisional entity. This is a rare indolent lymphoma characterized by papules or nodules on the ear and a dermal infiltrate of CD8-positive T-lymphocytes with cytotoxic marker expression. A retrospective review of a single institutional experience with PCATCL identified 3 patients (mean age 54; range 49-62) with papules or nodules on the ear. Lesional biopsies demonstrated a dense diffuse dermal infiltrate of atypical lymphocytes with a Grenz zone in 2 cases and focal epidermotropism in 1 case. The atypical lymphocytes were predominantly CD3 and CD8 positive with expression of cytotoxic marker TIA1. Staging evaluation failed to reveal systemic disease. Two patients underwent local excision, and the third received local radiation therapy all with complete response and no disease recurrence at last follow-up 3 months (range 2-5 months). Our cases add to the existing limited literature on the clinical and histopathological features of PCATCL. We also performed an updated systematic literature view of the entity.
