A 54-year-old immunosuppressed cardiac transplant recipient with a six-month history of progressive swelling of the hand, with nodules and linear lymph node chain enlargement, diagnosed as a sporotrichoid Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare pseudotumor is described. The microscopic features closely resembled the previously described histoid variety of lepromatous leprosy. Routine hematoxylin and eosin staining suggested a spindle cell neoplasm rather than an infectious or inflammatory process. An infectious etiology was pursued on the basis of the clinical setting.

A study was undertaken in an attempt to identify useful histologic criteria that may allow differentiation between benign idiopathic and mycosis-fungoides-associated follicular mucinosis. We chose young patients because no person under 20 years of age with coexisting follicular mucinosis and mycosis fungoides disease has ever been reported. Our three most important observations in benign juvenile idiopathic follicular mucinosis were as follows: The lymphocytic infiltrate was generally confined to follicular, perifollicular, or perivascular zones with no extension of either normal or atypical mononuclear cells into the epidermis or into papillary/reticular dermis. Within follicular epithelium there were dense collections of lymphocytes with occasionally atypical-appearing nuclei in three of the eight patients, but never as Pautrier microabscesses. There was absence of a significant associated plasma cell or eosinophil-containing inflammatory dermal infiltrate. These findings are in contrast to those of older patients with follicular mucinosis and mycosis fungoides.

A 71‐year‐old white man developed an increasing number of 1‐to‐10 mm, erythematous nodules, many with central ulceration, most prominent on the head and trunk. Biopsy of a nodule showed infiltration of the dermis and epidermis by large cells with multilobulated nuclei and numerous mitoses. Electron microscopy showed that most tumor cells contained Langerhans' cell granules. Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated a pattern of antigen expression similar to that of Langerhans' cells including Ia and Leu‐6 (T6) antigens. Chest x‐ray showed diffuse pulmonary infiltration and similar tumor cells were present in the sputum and urine. He developed increasing dyspnea and jaundice despite chemotherapy, and died 6 months after the onset of the disease. Autopsy showed massive tumor infiltration of the lungs, liver, spleen, and lymph nodes, and focal involvement of the myocardium, skin and bladder. Clinical and cytologic features indicated this case to be a rare example of highly malignant histiocytosis X in an elderly man.
