Cutaneous lymphomas


Slide Content

Cutaneous lymphoma

Lymphoproliferative disorders of the skin fall into two major categories Primary cutaneous lymphoma :Non Hodgkin lymphomas presenting in the skin with no evidence of extra cutaneous disease at the time of diagnosis Secondary cutaneous lymphoma : Systemic lymphomas that secondarily involve the skin

T- and B-Cell Infiltration Patterns

Primary cutaneous lymphoma Mature B-cell lineage : Extra nodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa associated lymphoid tissues(MALT lymphoma ) Primary cutaneous follicle centre lymphoma Primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma , leg type

Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma of Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissues ( MALTLymphoma ) >50 yrs Male predominance Usually Arms and trunk Papules/Plaques/Nodules Multifocal Results of chronic antigenic stimulation by antigen inserted intradermally Eg : tattoo, vaccines ,tick –borne bacteria( Borrelia sp.)

Two subtypes Class-switched -  90% Monotypic plasma cells  IgG and, to a lesser extent, IgA or IgE expression It lacks CXCR3, shows a predominant type 2 helper T cell environment and lacks reactive germinal centre colonization Indolent course 2) Non-class-switched   - 10%  Diffuse proliferation of large nodules of neoplastic B cells CXCR3 and IgM expression  

Nodular or diffuse dermal infiltrate, sparing the overlying epidermis - Grenz zone

Cells resembles centrocyte ( i rregular / angulated nuclear contours with inconspicuous nucleoli) Cells with less cytoplasm - small lymphocyte Neoplastic cells

Cells with ample cytoplasm - monocytoid appearance Extends into underlying subcutaneous tissue Reactive Plasma cell located at periphery of infiltrate and in the sub epidermal compartment

Plasmacytic differentiation : Intranuclear ( Dutcher bodies ) or intracytoplasmic ( Russell bodies) immunoglobulin inclusions Russell bodies

The cell of origin is -post–germinal center marginal zone B cell Positive marker : Kappa / lamda , CD 19, CD20,CD79a,BCL2 Negative : CD5,CD10,BCL6,Cyclin D1 Germinal centre : BCL6+,BCL2- and CD21 +(follicular dendritic cells ) Extracutaneous spread rare 5 year disease specific survival rate 0f 90%-favourable prognosis

Differential diagnosis Chronic lymphocytic leukemia  /  small lymphocytic lymphoma :  CD5 + /  CD23 + Cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia : clinical correlation helpful Does not usually have a bottom heavy infiltrate Preservation of germinal center follicles Primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma : Expression of BCL6 and CD10 outside of follicles would favor the neoplastic cells of PCFCL

Primary cutaneous follicle centre lymphoma PCFCL is a neoplasm derived from follicular center B cells including centrocytes (cleaved follicular center cells) and centroblasts ( noncleaved follicular center cells). Approximately 10% of cases of cutaneous lymphoma Scalp , forehead and trunk M:F -1.5:1 Middle aged adults Solitary or multiple firm erythematous to violaceous non ulcerating plaques /nodules

Clustered plum-colored nodules covered by thinned, glistening epidermal layer.

Histopathology Follicular / diffuse/ combination of both Sparing epidermis , Intact grenz zone Perivascular and per adnexal infiltration Follicles are ill defined; lack tingible body macrophages and mantle zone

Mixture of centrocytes and centroblasts Predominance of large centrocytes T cells are abundant

Positive : B cell markers ( ,  CD19 ,  CD22 ,  CD79a  or  PAX5 ) Germinal center markers:  BCL6 Negative CD10 positive in < 25% of cases Positive in follicular pattern and usually negative in diffuse pattern BCL2  ( negative or show faint staining) Combination of positive staining for both  BCL2  and  CD10  highly suggests secondary skin involvement by follicular lymphoma IRF4 / MUM1 CD 5 and CD43

Primary cutaneous diffuse large B cell lymphoma , leg type Primary cutaneous large B cell lymphoma (PCLBCL) composed exclusively of centroblasts and immunoblasts , typically arising in the leg 20% of all primary cutaneous B cell lymphomas Elderly patients, median age is seventh decade of life F:M =3:1 Presents as solitary or multiple localized reddish-brown tumors

Superficial and deep dermal involvement Epidermis spared (may be ulcerated) obliterating the adnexa, and often extends into the underlying subcutaneous tissue.

Large, monotonous, diffuse sheets of centroblasts and immunoblast Brisk mitotic activity frequently seen Small B cells and follicular dendritic cell meshworks are often absent

POSITIVE IRF4/MUM1 BCL2 BCL6 Fox P1 Ki67 index high (~70%) CD30 CIgM CD20 NRGATIVE CD10 CD5 CD30 Molecular : Translocation of  IGH  genes with  MYC  or  BCL6

PCL-Mature T/NK- cell lineage Mycosis fungoides including variants /subtypes Sezary syndrome Primary cutaneous CD30+ T cell lymphoproliferative disorder Lymphomatoid papulosis Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma Subcutaneous panniculitis –like T cell lymphoma Primary cutaneous γδ T cell lymphoma Primary cutaneous CD8+aggressive epidermotropic cytotoxic Tcell lymphoma Primary cutaneous CD4+small/medium T cell lymphoma Hydroa vacciniform –like lymphoma

Mycosis fungoides Epidermotropic primary cutaneous T cell lymphoma of small to medium sized T lymphocytes with cerebriform nuclei. m/c type of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (50%of all PCL) M:F=2:1 Median age at diagnosis in 50s Typical lesions initially present as large, erythematous scaling patches and plaques Generally resistant to anti-inflammatory therapy

Erythematous scaling patches and plaques of early disease. Plaques and nodules of advanced disease.

Early lesions of MF -patchy bandlike lymphocytic infiltrate within the papillary dermis, often associated with coarse fibrosis Neoplastic T cells are small- to medium-sized lymphocytes that characteristically contain nuclei with dense heterochromatin and elaborately indented ( cerebriform ) nuclear contours and perinuclear halos

Linear aggregation of neoplastic lymphocytes along the dermal–epidermal junction. Section stained for CD4 emphasizing this linear pattern of early epidermotropism

Plaque-stage disease characterized by prominent clusters of atypical lymphocytes within the epidermis ( Pautrier microabscesses ).

In more advanced stages, there is loss of epidermotropism . The dermal infiltrate is nodular to diffuse and may extend into the subcutaneous tissues May show transformation to large, highly atypical cells ( large-cell transformation or LCT )

LCT is defined as large-sized cells (4X size of small lymphocytes) with prominent nucleoli Composing ≥ 25% of the infiltrate or forming microscopic nodules Seen in greater than 50% of tumor-stage lesions A/W aggressive behavior

Positive : Mature T cell phenotype:   CD3,CD4,CD5,TCR β CD30 (Partially positive ) Negative : Cytotoxic phenotype : CD8 and TCR γ T-cell intracellular antigen [TIA-1] Perforin granzyme B

CD4 CD8 MF: CD3/CD4 (Helper) immunophenotype CD4:CD8 ratio increased in epidermis

Pattern of epidermal infiltration MF : Linear alignment along dermo-epidermal junction Pautrier’s microabscess Pagetoid spread Eczema/ ACD: Marked spongiosis Langerhans cell collections

Pattern of dermal  infiltration MF Band -like, sparing vascular plexus No disruption of basal cells Stuffing dermal papilla Eczema/ ACD/PL/lichenoid dermatitis: Lymphocytes involve vascular plexus

Prognosis Poor prognosis : Clinical stage IV disease Age older than 60 years Large cell transformation and Elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) Median survival for stage IA is ≥ 20 years Median survival beyond stage III is approximately 5 years

Variants of Mycosis Fungoides 1.Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides Characterized by infiltration of hair follicles by atypical T cells Minimal to absent epidermotropism Often a/w follicular mucinosis secondary to intracellular mucin production by keratinocytes- “ alopecia mucinosa ” Follicular papules and plaques or comedones , and intense pruritus skin of the face and the scalp as well as sun-exposed extremities Poor survival and increased risk of disease progression compared to typical MF

Infiltration of hair follicle Reactive lymphoid infiltrates, granulomatous reaction, abundant eosinophils or plasma cells, or cyst formation Follicular mucinosis characterized by pools of pale blue–staining mucin

2.Localized pagetoid reticulosis ( Woringer – Kolopp disease ) Rare form of MF Solitary acral lesion Epidermal infiltration of medium- to large-sized neoplastic T cells (abundant pale cytoplasm) A/W epidermal acanthosis and hyperkeratosis so clinically resembles to squamous proliferation such as a verruca or eczema. The pagetoid growth pattern of the neoplastic T cells –By strong expression of adhesion molecules , CLA and αEβ7

Neoplastic T cells are either CD4 + or CD8 + and CD30 positive Because of the pronounced epidermotropism , pagetoid reticulosis may mimic Superficial spreading melanoma Pagetoid squamous carcinoma in situ, or Extramammary Paget disease.

3.Granulomatous slack skin (GSS ) Clinical features: Initially, indurated plaques axilla/inguinal folds Plaques become atrophic, wrinkled, pendulous Patients younger Other classic features of MF absent a/w systemic lymphoma

Skin with increased folding (intertriginous sites) Atypical T-cell infiltrates are A/W non-caseating dermal granulomas formed by histiocytes and multinucleated giant cells( Elastolytic granulomas ) Which may contain ingested elastic fibers ( elastophagocytosis ) or engulfed lymphocytes ( lymphophagocytosis ) Dense and extends deep into the subcutis Gradual loss of elastic fibres

Large, multinucleated giant cells are admixed among the lymphocytes and histiocytes

4.Acanthosis nigricans –like (vegetating/ papillomatous ) mycosis fungoides . Flexural sites (axillae and groin), neck, nipple, and areolae Clinically and microscopically resembles acanthosis nigricans or seborrheic keratosis Microscopy A bandlike atypical lymphoid infiltrate with epidermotropism Elongated interconnected rete ridges Pseudo–horn cysts

5.Bullous (vesicular) mycosis fungoides Present as blisters that may develop on normal skin or within typical plaques and tumors of MF Features of classical MF + clefting at different planes Subcorneal , intraepidermal - result from confluence of Pautrier microabscesses , Subepidermal - secondary to reduced keratinocyte adherence to the basement membrane due to cytokines produced by the lymphoma cells Immunofluorescence studies are negative in bullous MF.

6.Granulomatous mycosis fungoides papules, plaques, and tumors Comparing to GSS clinically , bulky skin lesions are absent here Typical MF + variable granulomatous inflammation( In the form of interstitial, tuberculoid / sarcoidal , or palisading granuloma) Multinucleated giant cells, usually of the foreign-body type (Langerhans and Touton giant cells also seen ) Lymphophagocytosis and elastophagocytosis are less common than in GSS

7.Hyperpigmented mycosis fungoides Rare variant , diffuse macular hyperpigmentation Classical MF + Marked elongation of the rete ridges Basal hyperpigmentation Dermal melanophages Ultrastructural studies - giant melanin granules in the tumor cells, keratinocytes, Langerhans cells, and macrophages

8.Hypopigmented mycosis fungoides In young patients with dark skin Asymptomatic or slightly pruritic, hypopigmented patches Degenerative changes in melanocytes secondary to nonspecific cellular injuries, Impaired melanosome transfer to keratinocytes indistinguishable from classical MF histopathologically . Frequent CD8 + phenotype expression Dermal pigment incontinence as well as the presence of an atypical T-cell infiltrate

9.Ichthyosiform mycosis fungoides Rare variant of MF, Pruritic and ichthyosiform , often with excoriations. A/W comedo -like areas and/or follicular keratotic papules. Microscopy Ichthyosiform areas : Typical features of MF + compact orthohyperkeratosis and hypergranulosis Follicular papules :cystic dilatation of hair follicles with keratotic plugs and folliculotropic atypical lymphocytes

10.Mycosis fungoides palmaris / plantaris MF lesions are limited to palms and/or soles Annular hyperpigmented patches and plaques / vesicles/ pustules /hyperkeratotic/verrucous plaques / psoriasiform plaques, ulceration and nail dystrophy. Presence of histopathologic findings of classical MF and clonal rearrangement of the TCR genes will help in reaching the correct diagnosis.

11.Poikiloderma vasculare atrophicans Early lesions -either large plaques or small papules arranged in a netlike configuration. Lesions show erythema, mild scaling, epidermal thinning, mottled hypo- and hyperpigmentation, and telangiectasia-resemble changes of radiodermatitis .

Microscopy : epidermal atrophy epidermal infiltration by atypical lymphocytes Band of lymphocytes, histiocytes , and melanophages in the papillary dermis Ectasia of superficial dermal vessels

12.Pustular mycosis fungoides Pustular eruptions that may be limited to the palmoplantar areas / may be generalized. Intraepidermal collections of atypical lymphocytes with neutrophils and eosinophils . High levels of interleukin-8 by the lymphoma cells results in the formation of pustular lesions 13.Verrucous (hyperkeratotic) mycosis fungoides Hyperkeratotic/verrucous and occur on lower extremities, face, and trunk . Classic features of MF in a background of epidermal hyperplasia with hyperkeratotic scale

Sézary Syndrome Cell of origin is central memory T cell Triad of: Generalized redness and scaling of the skin (erythroderma) Lymphadenopathy Presence of clonally related neoplastic T cells in the skin, lymph nodes, and peripheral blood.

The recent international consensus statement for MF and SS updated criteria for SS Excluding the requirement of lymphadenopathy, Specifically (a) erythema covering 80% body surface (b) a T-cell clone within the peripheral blood (c) a high blood tumor burden, meaning to 1,000/ μL Sézary cells CD4:CD8 ratio 10:1 or Atypical CD4 + cells in the blood(≥ 40% of CD4+ / CD7- and ≥ 30% of CD4+ / CD26- T cells )  

Bandlike papillary dermal lymphoid infiltrate with minimal epidermotropism Neoplastic T cells are generally CD4 + T cells that frequently show loss of CD7 loss of T-cell markers such as CD2, CD3, and CD5

Atypical lymphocytes with cerebriform nuclear contours, called Lutzner cells and larger Sézary cells

TNM STAGING OF MF AND SEZARY SYNDROME T category is based on the percentage of skin surface involvement and the lesional morphology (patchy, plaque, tumor or erythroderma) N category is based on the presence of dermatopathic lymphadenopathy, lymphoma cells and evidence of clonality M category is based on the presence or absence of visceral involvement Peripheral blood staging is based on the quantity of abnormal lymphocytes (blood tumor burden) and presence or absence of clonality

Mixed angiocentric and interstitial infiltration within dermis. Interstitial infiltrate of leukemic cells between dermal collagen bundles including “ single-file” pattern .

Perivascular infiltrate of cytologically monotonous and homogeneous myeloblasts . Immature chromatin and distinct nucleoli of blast forms.

Positivity may depend on the patterns of differentiation CD68 / KP1 ,  lysozyme ,  CD33 ,  CD43 : positive in high percentage of cases CD45 ,  MPO  and  CD117  are also commonly seen but are not present in all cases (likely in > 50% of cases) CD56 ,  CD34  and  TdT : positive in only subset of cases (likely in < 50% of cases) CD71  and  glycophorin  for lesions with erythroblastic differentiation   CD42b  and  CD61  for lesions with megakaryoblastic differentiation

Relapse may occur in both cutaneous and extracutaneous sites.

The dermis is replaced by nodules of neoplastic cells that superficially resemble germinal centers but show attenuated mantle zones and lack the “starry-sky” appearance of reactive germinal centers owing to the absence of tingible -body macrophages. Positive B-cell markers (CD19, CD20, CD79a, PAX5) germinal center cell markers (CD10, BCL6), and aberrant expression of BCL2 Negative CD5, cyclin D1, and CD43.
