Granulomatous slack skin without evidence of a clonal T-cell proliferation - 24/08/11
Abstract |
Granulomatous slack skin is a rare cutaneous disorder with less than 50 cases presented in the English-language literature. The disease is characterized by circumscribed erythematous lax skin accentuated most commonly in the axillary and inguinal areas. A strong association with a preceding or evolving diagnosis of mycosis fungoides or Hodgkin's disease has been reported. Previous reports describe the entity as a lymphoproliferative disease in the same spectrum as mycosis fungoides and Hodgkin's disease with a monoclonal T-cell population. Our case, without an evident β-T-cell receptor rearrangement, suggests that not all cases of granulomatous slack skin are a result of an indolent lymphoma. Granulomatous slack skin probably represents a spectrum of diseases that can eventuate into a lymphoproliferative process.
