Subtype(s) Primary cutaneous CD30-positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder: Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma

Definition / Description of Disease

  • Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (C-ALCL) is a form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with majority (>75%) of tumor cells expressing CD30.
  • CD30+ LPDs are a part of a spectrum of diseases with overlapping features and are associated with an excellent prognosis. The group includes lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) and C-ALCL, which are distinguished by clinical features and disease course.
  • C-ALCL is a distinct entity from systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), which can have cutaneous involvement.
  • Diagnosis must exclude large cell transformation of mycosis fungoides, which can express CD30.

Clinical Features

Put your text here and fill in the table (Instruction: Can include references in the table. Do not delete table.)

Signs and Symptoms EXAMPLE: Asymptomatic (incidental finding on complete blood counts)

EXAMPLE: B-symptoms (weight loss, fever, night sweats)

EXAMPLE: Fatigue

EXAMPLE: Lymphadenopathy (uncommon)

Laboratory Findings EXAMPLE: Cytopenias

EXAMPLE: Lymphocytosis (low level)


editv4:Clinical Features
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.


  • Solitary or localized nodules or tumors, with frequent ulceration. Multifocal lesions are seen in 20% of patients.
  • Lesions may regress, either partially or completely, but cutaneous relapse is common.
  • Extracutaneous dissemination is seen in 10-15% of cases, most cases involving regional lymph nodes.
  • Associated with excellent prognosis, even in those with regional lymph node involvement or multifocal skin lesions.
  • Anaplastic morphology does not impact disease course or prognosis.
  • Distinguishing from LyP is important for therapy, as surgical excision and radiotherapy are first-line treatments in patients with C-ALCL.

Sites of Involvement

  • Limited to cutaneous sites, most frequently affecting the trunk, face, and extremities.

The following referenees were placed in the header. Please place them into the appropriate locations in the text.

[1]

Morphologic Features

  • Sheets or nodular dermal infiltrate of large pleomorphic, anaplastic, or immunoblastic cells
  • Irregularly shaped nuclei
  • Abundant, pale to eosinophilic, cytoplasm
  • Reactive lymphocytes in the periphery
  • Ulcerated lesions may resemble lymphomatoid papulosis with increased inflammatory infiltrate composed of T-cells, histiocytes, eosinophils, and neutrophils, with fewer CD30+ cells.
  • In cases harboring DUSP22-IRF4 translocations, CD30+ cells commonly display biphasic morphology - small, cerebriform lymphocytes within the epidermis and large transformed cells in dermis.

Immunophenotype

Finding Marker
Positive (activated T-cell markers)* CD4, CD30 (diagnosis requires >75% expression of tumor cells)
Variable (pan T-cell markers) CD2, CD3, CD5
Positive Cytotoxic proteins: Granzyme B, TIA1, perforin

CD15 (40%), IRF4/MUM1, CLA (cutaneous lymphocyte antigen)

Negative EMA, ALK, PAX5, EBV, CD56 (rare cases with coexpression)

*Some cases may have a T-cell phenotype of CD4-/CD8+ or CD4+/CD8+ or null-cell phenotype.

Cases with DUSP22-IRF4 rearrangement tend to express

EMA and ALK are typically positive in systemic ALCL, however there are rare cases of ALK+ primary C-ALCL.
