Dear Collegues,
we have got a sample from our dermatology dept. from a 80 year old female
with mild erythrodermia and skin infiltration. She presents for the first
time with out preceeding mycosis fungoides. Pathologists don´t want to say
MF. WBC 15,000/µl, RBC 3.7, PLT 161.000/µl, Lymph: 12,600, 97% T-cells.
Phenotype: CD4+ CD7- CD3+ but reduced density, others as expected (CD2, CD5,
CD45, TCR aß).
Morphology: mostly that of quiescent lymphocytes (regular size, smal rim,
dense chromatin). A few have a central gyrus but not very pronounced. No
flower like cells.
Any suggestions to solve the subdiagnosis of T-NHL?
In case, please reply directly to my e-mail adress.
Regards
Thomas Nebe
