Article Synopsis
- CD39 is an enzyme in a pathway that helps suppress the immune system and is linked to the growth and spread of solid tumors, particularly in skin-related cancers.
- Research found that CD39 is overexpressed in specific T-cell lymphomas, including Sezary syndrome and mycosis fungoides, in both blood and skin lymphocytes.
- The study suggests that blocking the CD39/CD73/adenosine pathway could be a promising approach for treating these types of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas.
Kimura disease (KD) is a rare, chronic angiolymphoproliferative inflammatory disease appearing to be mostly restricted to the skin and soft tissue. Cutaneous involvement of KD includes head and/or neck nodules showing suggestive histological features, frequently associated with an atopic dermatitis-like or prurigo-like presentation. KD is challenging to treat, with high rate of recurrence using current therapeutic strategies.

Methods: We conducted an international, cross-sectional study based on a 46-question web-based survey, including patients with medically confirmed lupus erythematosus, conducted between November 2021 and April 2022.
Results: A total of 600 patients with lupus erythematosus [94% female, median age: 41 years, interquartile range (IQR): 33-51] from 50 countries were included.
