Pseudocarcinomatous hyperplasia (PCH) is a benign reactive epithelial proliferation that may be associated to lymphomas of the skin or external mucous membranes. We present a case of single lesion mycosis fungoides (Woringer-Kollop's reticulosis pagetoid) associated with PCH that was initially misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and review all PubMed-indexed previously reported cases on lymphomas of the skin or external mucous membranes associated to PCH, SCC, and keratoacanthomas. Including our own case, we collected data of 114 cases of cutaneous or mucosal lymphoproliferative disorders associated to PCH, 3 cases associated to SCC, and other 3 cases associated to keratoacanthomas. All cases were tabulated to the following parameters whenever data was available: sex, age, previous medical conditions, number of lesions (single × multiple), site of involvement (mucosa, skin or both), clinical impression, initial equivocal histopathologic diagnosis, final diagnosis, keratinocytic atypia (presence × absence), lymphocytic atypia (presence × absence), CD30-status, and treatment.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS) are the most common subtypes of the heterogeneous group of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL). With the expansion of the biologic treatment landscape, new treatment options have become available in recent years, most notably the C-C chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4)-directed monoclonal antibody mogamulizumab. Based on the phase III pivotal trial, mogamulizumab is recommended by the German S2k guidelines for the second-line treatment of stage IB and above SS and MF, after at least one prior systemic therapy.

Objective Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a critical cause of fever of unknown origin (FUO). While a pathological analysis is essential for diagnosing IVLBCL, the indications for an invasive procedure may be ascertained using easy, non-invasive tests. The lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) can reportedly predict the diagnosis of malignant lymphoma in patients with lymphadenopathy; however, its clinical utility in predicting an IVLBCL diagnosis in patients with FUO remains to be elucidated.

Dermatological adverse events (AEs) are generally mild during therapy with Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi), and it is often unnecessary to adjust the BTKi dosage or discontinue treatment. However, in this study, we present the cases of two patients diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) who experienced severe dermatological AEs during BTKi treatment and subsequently had to discontinue it. The first patient, who previously suffered from rashes, experienced rashes again along with fever when exposed to BTKi.

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus is a multi-organ autoimmune disorder that is treated by immunosuppressive agents that weaken the immune defense against opportunistic pathogens and latent infections such as strongyloidiasis. Herein, we report the case of a 43-year-old woman known to have systemic lupus erythematosus who presented with gastrointestinal symptoms, edema, and bone pain 2 months after receiving immunosuppressive treatment.
