NK-/T-Cell Lymphoma Resembling Hydroa Vacciniforme With Positive CD4 Marker Expression

Abstract: A 35-year-old Chinese woman presented with a 2.5-year history of facial swelling in the left lower quadrant and a 10-month history of relapsing red papules and vesicles in the perioral area resembling hydroa vacciniforme. Histologically, a tissue biopsy showed a dense infiltration of medium-sized atypical lymphocytic cells expressing CD4 and CD56. A diagnosis of cutaneous NK-/T-cell lymphoma was made. The patient was treated with alpha-interferon, valaciclovir hydrochloride, and low-dose prednisone for 2 month… Show more

“…Histologically, its atypical lymphocytic infiltration and angiocentric distribution pattern were also similar to EBV-associated HV-like eruption, but it has not been reported to occur in concurrence with HV-like eruption. Zhang et al 10 reported facial HV-like eruptions as nasal type NK/T-cell lymphoma, which is distinct from our case, which had no systemic symptoms or invasion of other organs.…”

“…The extranodal NK/T‐cell lymphoma tumor cells infiltrate in the subcutaneous layer commonly forms a panniculitis‐like pattern . To our knowledge, only two cases of primary cutaneous extra‐nodal NK/T‐cell lymphoma presenting as facial swelling have previously been reported . Our cases suggest that facial swelling is a novel clinical manifestation of cutaneous extranodal NK/T‐cell lymphoma.…”

“…A review of the literature revealed 17 cases of facial edema as clinical manifestations of primary cutaneous lymphoma or as accompanying lesions in non‐cutaneous lymphoma in the head and neck area (Table ) . The reports included 11 cases of primary cutaneous lymphoma presenting as facial swelling and six cases with non‐cutaneous lymphoma of the head and neck with accompanying facial swelling.…”

“…144 There have been few reports in the recent literature on cutaneous EBV+ NK/T-cell lymphoid proliferations that were different-either phenotypically or by showing an unusual clinical course-from both classic extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, and hydroa vacciniformia-like lymphoma, suggesting that the spectrum of these conditions might be broader. 145,146 Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) had traditionally been included in CL classifications under designations blastic NK-cell lymphoma and agranular CD4 + CD56 + hematodermic neoplasm. This neoplasm, however, is derived from plasmacytoid dendritic cells, 147,148 hence its name BPDCN.…”
