Background And Objectives: The effect of mogamulizumab in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) on T cells (TC) in the peripheral blood and its potential role to navigate treatment intervals are explored.
Methods: We investigated within a retrospective monocentric analysis the effect of mogamulizumab on the CD3 TC and the aberrant T cell population (TCP), i.e., the CD4 /CD7 and the CD4 /CD26 TC, analyzed by flow cytometry.
Results: Thirteen patients with CTCL were included. After four cycles there was a mean reduction of 57% in CD3 TC, 72% in the CD4 /CD7 and 75% in the CD4 /CD26 TCP compared to the individual baseline of each patient. The reduction in CD4 /CD7 and CD4 /CD26 TC was lower, averaging 54% and 41%. A significant decrease in aberrant TCP was already evident after the first administration. A median plateau of TCP already occurred during the IP. Progressive disease occurred in 5/13 patients without a clear correlation to aberrant TCP.
Conclusions: Already after one dose of mogamulizumab, aberrant TCP and, to a lesser extent, normal TC decrease. We did not observe a clear correlation between TCP and the efficacy of mogamulizumab, but further studies with larger numbers of patients are needed.

The prognosis of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) with primary central nervous system (CNS) involvement has been unclear since the advent of new therapies. Recently, we have shown that flow cytometric CD7/CADM1 analysis of CD4 + cells (HAS-Flow) is useful to detect ATL cells that are not morphologically diagnosed as ATL cells. We investigated the role of CNS involvement in ATL using cytology and HAS-Flow by analyzing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 73 aggressive ATL cases.

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.

PGTL can present with a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms, but patients only rarely present with perforation.

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by peripheral blood monocytosis and bone marrow dysplasia. In approximately one-fourth of cases, CMML can demonstrate progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), referred to as AML ex CMML. We present a 58-year-old woman with a past medical history of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) who demonstrated 24% bone marrow blasts on a repeat biopsy obtained two years after being diagnosed with CMML.

Introduction: Cutaneous T-cell dyscrasia (CTCD) encompasses a heterogeneous group of T-cell infiltrates, often clonal and epitheliotropic. While the etiology remains unclear, certain medications, including statins, have been linked to cutaneous T-cell lymphocytic infiltrate development.
Case Description: A patient presented with a pruritic, scaly eruption on her palms and soles unresponsive to topical steroids for 1 month.
