The histologic features of an epidermotropic cutaneous lymphoma in a dog are presented. The neoplasm, which was intensely epidermotropic, thoroughly invaded the follicular and apocrine gland epithelium. The intense epidermotropism was retained in the tumor stage. By comparison to human mycosis fungoides, the cell nucleus was less convoluted and the infiltrate was less polymorphic. The lymphoid cell appeared to undergo neoplastic transformation into a cell with a large pale nucleus, often with a prominent nucleolus and variable cytoplasm. In situ marker studies are needed to clarify the cell type in this neoplasm. These studies could have relevance for the pathogenesis of human epidermotropic lymphoma.

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is an aggressive malignancy that frequently presents with extranodal involvement. Cutaneous tropism is clinically and histopathologically variable, which may pose a diagnostic challenge. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 40 samples of 20 cases of cutaneous AITL, focusing on the clinicopathologic and molecular correlations between skin and lymph node (LN) samples.

BACKGROUND Primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCL) are a multifaceted spectrum of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) and cutaneous B cell lymphomas (CBCL). Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a rare subset of CTCL that primarily affects adults, and its occurrence in children is exceedingly rare. Most pediatric MF manifests as hypopigmented patches resembling other benign dermatoses, causing diagnostic challenges.

Acute myeloid leukemia is a cancer involving uncontrolled proliferation of hematopoietic cells. Cutaneous involvement is referred to as leukemia cutis (LC). The histopathologic presentation of LC is variable, and may present with perivascular, periadnexal, dermal, or subcutaneous infiltrate.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a neoplasm of the immune system. It is a cutaneous lymphoma originating in the peripheral epidermotropic T-cells, specifically the memory T-cells (CD45RO+). The etiology of MF is indefinite, but various factors, such as genetic and epigenetic abnormalities, environmental and occupational exposure to chemicals, infections, and cytokines (interleukin [IL]-2, IL-4, etc.

Objectives: To identify the clinical and histological features of MF that can assist in distinguishing MF from MF-mimicking cases. Although mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, clinicopathological correlations are required to establish an accurate diagnosis, which are currently lacking.
Methods: This retrospective observational study evaluated the clinical presentations, characteristics, and histological features of 56 patients with suspected MF who presented to our clinic between January 2018 and August 2022.
