| Popis: | CD56+ NK/T cell lymphoma (NKTL) frequently involves skin and subcutaneous tissue. The characteristics of primary cutaneous nasal-type CD56+ NKTLs and secondary cutaneous involvement of nasal CD56+ NKTLs have not been clearly separated. This retrospective study analyzed 15 cases of NKTL (10 primary CD56+ NKTLs and 5 secondary CD56+ NKTLs) for their clinicopathologic and immunophenotypic characteristics using CD3, CD4, CD20, CD45RO, CD56, TIA-1, CD30, and Ki-67 antigens. In situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus RNA (EBERISH) and PCR for T cell receptor (TCR) gamma gene rearrangement were also performed. Clinically, NKTL-P was seen with equal frequency among male (five cases) and female (five cases) patients and presented with subcutaneous nodules without epidermal changes (nine cases), whereas all cases of NKTL-S occurred in male patients and presented with nodules or plaques with distinct epidermal changes (five cases). Microscopically, initial NKTL-P lesions had the panniculitic patterns of small to medium-sized cells (nine cases). NKTL-S lesions were extensive in both subcutis and dermis, with larger and more pleomorphic tumor cells (four cases) that also showed signs epidermotropism (five cases). In initial biopsies of CD56+ NKTL-P, a minority of tumor cells showed signals for EBERISH and in biopsies of CD56+ NKTL-S, virtually every tumor cell showed signals. While all five patients with secondary CD56+ NKTL died of disease with widespread systemic involvement within 16 months after onset of skin lesions, 7 out of the 10 primary CD56+ NKTL patients survived more than 20 months after onset of skin lesions, with slow progression and episodic recurrences. The primary and secondary cutaneous CD56+ NKTLs showed considerable clinicopathologic differences, suggesting differences in pathogenesis. |
