Sezary syndrome (SS) is a rare but aggressive type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Patients with SS have characteristic skin lesions (erythroderma) and a leukemic phase. The rash associated with CTCLs can often mimic common benign skin conditions such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, etc. and therefore can go undiagnosed until later stages. We present a case of a patient with SS who managed eczema for over one year with topical steroids before receiving a skin biopsy. Workup confirmed leukemic involvement, and the patient was started on systemic therapy with bexarotene. The patient continues to have a good response to systemic therapy. When treating patients with persistent rash of uncertain etiology and/or unresponsive to treatment, primary care physicians and internists need to consider SS/Mycosis fungoides as a possible differential and should have a low threshold to initiate early referral to dermatology for definitive diagnosis.

BACKGROUND: Granulomatous mycosis fungoides (GMF) is a rare form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma characterized by a granulomatous inflammatory infiltrate.
OBJECTIVE: The impact of granulomatous inflammation on the prognosis of the disease remains controversial as there have been both favorable and unfavorable outcomes documented.
METHODS: We performed a systematic review of 116 GMF cases previously described in the literature.
RESULTS: In contrast to the classic Alibert-Bazin type of mycosis fungoides (MF), cutaneous lesions in GMF tend to involve distal extremities (lower legs, feet, hands) early in the disease course. In the literature, 30% of GMF patients developed organ metastasis, most frequently to the lung. The median time to stage progression was 25 months.
CONCLUSIONS: GMF is an aggressive form of MF. Therefore, screening for distant metastases should be considered at presentation and repeated during follow-up.

Mogamulizumab (MOG) is an antibody targeting the CCR4 receptor, authorized for relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell (PTCL) and cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL). Its adoption in guidelines and endorsement by FDA and EMA established it as a systemic treatment, especially for advanced disease stages due to its comparatively lower toxicity. Clinical trials and real-world evidence have underscored its efficacy in advanced CTCLs, including mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome; PTCLs; and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), showcasing positive outcomes. Notably, the drug has demonstrated significant response rates, disease stability, and extended periods of progression-free survival, suggesting its applicability in cases with multiple treatment lines. Its safety profile is generally manageable, with adverse events (AEs) primarily related to the skin, infusion-related reactions, drug eruptions, autoimmune diseases, and skin disorders. The latter seem to appear as CCR4 can promote the skin-specific homing of lymphocytes, and MOG is directed against this receptor. While combination with immunostimulatory agents like interferon alpha and interleukin 12 has shown promising results, caution is urged when combining with PD1 inhibitors due to the heightened risk of immune-mediated AEs. The introduction of MOG as a systemic treatment implies a significant advancement in managing these diseases, supported by its favorable safety profile and complementary mechanisms.

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease is a rare disorder with an annual incidence of 0.5% to 3.7%. Development of this disorder carries with it a poor prognosis. In this report, we describe a rare case of post-transplant primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (PT-CTCL) mycosis fungoides stage IIB in a patient following kidney transplantation, as well as a review of PT-CTCL reported in the literature. The treatment following diagnosis included bexarotene, cyclosporine, and prednisone. Currently, the patient is free from disease. This information aims to add to the knowledge of the prevalence and management of PT-CTCL.

Intravascular cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is an extremely rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma that proliferates in the lumen of small blood vessels and has a propensity to manifest in the skin. Most reported cases of intravascular lymphoma described in the literature are of large B-cell lymphomas, making T-cell lymphomas incredibly rare. As such, we present the case of an 87-year-old male with primary cutaneous intravascular anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma that initially presented with an erythematous, subcutaneous nodule on the right mid-abdomen. We report the immunohistochemical results showing lymphoma cells staining positively for CD3 and CD30 and lacking expression of anaplastic lymphoma kinase, pan-cytokeratin, CD10, CD20, and SOX10. We also review and compare previously reported cases of intravascular ALCL with primary cutaneous involvement.

Methotrexate-related lymphoproliferative disorders (MTX-LPDs) are immunodeficiency diseases following methotrexate (MTX) administration, mainly occurring in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Although uncommon, MTX-LPDs have been reported in some patients with psoriasis, dermatomyositis, and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) who received MTX. Granulomatous mycosis fungoides (GMF) is a rare subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, where MTX is one of the treatment options in recalcitrant cases. Herein, we report a case of a 72-year-old female patient with GMF who additionally developed cutaneous Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) during MTX treatment. According to the 5th edition of the WHO classification of Haematolymphoid Tumors (WHO-HAEM), this condition is currently categorized as \"lymphoma arising in immunodeficiency/dysregulation\". In this article, we also reviewed published literature on cutaneous MTX-LPDs in the setting of CTCL. This entity should be considered in cases of new, atypical skin nodules and/or plaques in CTCL patients receiving long-term MTX treatment.

Oral and laryngeal cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is rare and usually associated with poor prognosis. Here, we discuss 2 cases of oral CTCL that developed in heavily pretreated patients and provide a review of the literature. The first case is of a 46-year-old African American male with rapidly progressive disease, presenting with a lesion on his hard palate 6 months after being diagnosed with a CD4+CD8+ CTCL. His cutaneous disease was widespread with tumors on >80% of his body surface area. Unfortunately, the patient died 2 ½ years after his CTCL diagnosis and 7 months after developing the oral CTCL lesion. The second case is of a 38-year-old African American male with stage IIb CD3+CD4+CD30+ mycosis fungoides (MF), who developed a tumor on the hard palate 6 months after diagnosis. He received palliative radiation to the oral lesion and multiple lines of systemic therapy for pulmonary, laryngeal, esophageal, and gastric involvement. Biopsy of the gastric lesions showed a CD30+ T-cell lymphoma with the same clonal peak as in his skin but with large cell transformation. Brentuximab vendoin was started, and the patient is now in complete remission, 30 months later. From the 76 cases of oral CTCL that have been reported in the English language, six were of transformed MF. The most common sites affected were the tongue and palate, and the most common presentation were erythematous or ulcerated tumors, plaques, or nodules associated with dysphagia and pain. Oral CTCL typically occurs years after the initial diagnosis of CTCL and portend a poor prognosis with an average survival of just over 1 year after development of oral lesions.

Limited data regarding survival of Moroccan patients with mycosis fungoides (MF). To evaluate the clinical profile and long-term outcomes of these patients. A retrospective review of 114 MF cases diagnosed from 1993 to 2022 who were followed up for more than 6 months of diagnosis was performed. Of 114 patients, 71.9% were male and the median age at diagnosis was 56 years. Approximately 64 and 36% of the patients had an early stage and advanced stage, respectively. Median follow-up duration was 56 months, and median duration of symptoms before diagnosis was 31 months. Various subtypes were observed, including mycosis fungoides folliculotropic (12.3%), poikilodermatous (11.4%), and palmaris et plantaris MF (5.3%). The 10-year overall survival was 89% in early-stage patients and 48.8% in advanced-stage patients. Complete response to treatment occurred in 45.6%, stable disease in 16.7% and disease progression in 7.9% of patients. Older age of > 60 years, higher T-stage (T3/T4) and advanced-stage MF were statistically significant in predicting poorer outcomes in MF. Despite delay in diagnosis, most cases of MF in Morocco were diagnosed in early stages. We observed a high proportion of classic MF and favorable prognosis.
