We describe two patients who presented with vasculitic, ulcerative skin lesions that had the histologic features of lymphomatoid granulomatosis or angiocentric T-cell lymphoma. These patients were found to have antibodies to human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I.

Uncommon Fibroinflammatory Sinonasal Tract Lesions: Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis, Eosinophilic Angiocentric Fibrosis, and Rosai-Dorfman Disease.

Fibroinflammatory lesions of the sinonasal tract include inflammatory polyps (chronic rhinosinusitis), various infectious, sarcoidosis, and NK/T-cell lymphoma as examples of the most commonly encountered lesions. However, the differential diagnosis includes several less frequently encountered entities, such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss), eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis considered part of IgG-related disease, and Rosai-Dorfman disease. This review focuses on these latter entities providing an update on clinical, laboratory, imaging, histology, and ancillary testing employed to reach an actionable diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
- A 14-year-old boy was initially diagnosed with Henoch-Schonlein vasculitis due to symptoms like swelling and leg ulcers, but further testing revealed a different condition.
- After undergoing multiple biopsies, he was diagnosed with hydroa vacciniforme-like lymphoproliferative disorder, characterized by Epstein-Barr virus involvement.
- Unfortunately, his parents refused treatment, and he died a few months later, highlighting a rare case where the disease's symptoms first appeared in the legs instead of the face, complicating diagnosis.
Innate T-cell-derived IL-17A/F protects from bleomycin-induced acute lung injury but not bleomycin or adenoviral TGF-β1-induced lung fibrosis in mice.

The pathobiology of IL-17 in lung fibrogenesis is controversial. Here we examined the role of IL-17A/F in bleomycin (BLM) and adenoviral TGF-β1-induced lung fibrosis in mice. In both experimental models, WT and IL17af mice showed increased collagen contents and remodeled lung architecture as assessed by histopathological examination, suggesting that IL-17A/F is dispensable for lung fibrogenesis.

Article Synopsis
- Mucha-Habermann disease (MHD) is an inflammatory skin condition with symptoms resembling cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, while its severe variant, febrile ulceronecrotic MHD (FUMHD), presents with systemic symptoms and ulcers.
- A case study of a 21-year-old woman showed atypical lymphomatoid features of FUMHD alongside hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), leading to significant clinical findings and a biopsy that indicated atypical CD8 + lymphocyte infiltration.
- Treatment using etoposide and dexamethasone resulted in rapid improvement of her symptoms, with the patient's skin lesions healing over time and confirming the MHD diagnosis; she has remained

Natural killer/T cell lymphomas chiefly involving the midline facial structures including the nasal cavity or nasopharyns are a relatively rare type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Apart from the upper respiratory tract, the disease occasionally presents in certain extranodal sites, such as the central nervous system, skin, gastrointestinal tract, or testes. We report a case of natural killer NK/T cell lymphoma as a testicular tumor in a 36-year-old man with a history of progressive swelling of his right testicle.
