UNASSIGNED: The histopathological classification of T-cell lymphoma (TCL) in humans has distinctive mutational genotyping that suggests different lymphomagenesis. A similar concept is assumed to be observed in dogs with different TCL phenotypes.
UNASSIGNED: This study aimed to identify the previously reported single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in both human beings and dogs in canine TCLs and null-cell lymphomas (NCLs) and to design compatible oligonucleotides from each variant based on the multiplex polymerase chain reaction.
UNASSIGNED: Genomic DNA was extracted from 68 tumor specimens (62 TCLs and 6 NCLs) and 5 buffy coat samples from dogs with TCL. Four TCL subtypes and NCL were analyzed in 44 SNPs from 21 genes using the MassARRAY.
UNASSIGNED: The greatest incidences of SNPs observed in all TCL subtypes and NCL ware SATB1 c.1259A > C, KIT c.1275A > G, SEL1L c.2040 + 200C > G, and TP53 c.1024C > T, respectively. Some SNP locations were statistically significant associated with NCL, including MYC p.S75F (p = 0.0003), TP53 p.I149N (p = 0.030), PDCD1 p.F37LX (p = 0.012), and POT1 p.R583* (p = 0.012).
UNASSIGNED: Each TCL histological subtype and NCL are likely to contain distinctive mutational genetic profiles, which might play a role in lymphoma gene-risk factors and might be useful for selecting therapeutic target drugs for each canine patient.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is defined as the most common cutaneous T‑cell lymphoma (CTCL). The bullous form is considered one of its numerous variants. Only a few cases of this rare entity have been described. We report the case of a man with an aggressive course of bullous MF, which led to lethal outcome within a few weeks due to a fulminant sepsis.
UNASSIGNED: Die Mycosis fungoides (MF) ist das häufigste kutane T‑Zell-Lymphom (CTCL). Die bullöse Form gilt als eine ihrer zahlreichen Varianten. In der Literatur sind nur wenige Fälle dieser seltenen Entität beschrieben. Wir berichten von einem männlichen Patienten mit fulminantem Verlauf einer bullösen MF, die aufgrund der infausten septischen Gesamtkonstellation innerhalb weniger Wochen zum Exitus letalis führte.

BACKGROUND: Advanced-stage mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS) have poor prognosis with median survivals of less than 5 years. Although a variety of treatments are approved for MF/SS patients, durable complete remissions (CR) are rare.
METHODS: Advanced-stage MF or SS patients who achieved CR and maintained in CR or stage IA for more than 10 years were identified by a retrospective search of the principal investigator\'s database.
RESULTS: Of 2266 patients diagnosed with MF or SS, 23 patients with advanced-stage MF/SS (6 IIB, 1 IIIB, 5 IVA1, 3 IVA2, 8 IVB) who achieved CR and maintained in CR or stage IA for ≥ 10 years were identified. As final/curative treatment, 11 patients underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Most patients presented at young age, underwent SCT with reduced intensity conditioning regimen, had matched related donors, and controllable post-transplant graft versus host disease. Eleven patients were treated with TSEB as part of combined modality protocol in 2 patients and debulking therapy before allogeneic SCT in 9 patients. Five stage IIB patients achieved CR with radiotherapy. Four patients with blood involvement were treated with extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) in combination with long-term antibiotics and immunomodulatory agents. Long-term antibiotics were given to 14 patients.
CONCLUSIONS: TSEB followed by allogeneic SCT, radiotherapy, ECP plus long-term antibiotics and immunomodulatory agents were the most common curative/final treatments found in our patients. We are reporting the details of our long-term complete responders\' treatment course in the hopes of obtaining more cure responses in the future.

Mycosis fungoides is the most frequent subtype of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. The diagnosis is based on a thorough clinic-pathologic correlation, which can, especially in early-stage disease, be challenging due to similarities with several benign skin disorders such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Here, we present a case of an 81-year-old man with a 20-year-long medical history of skin problems treated as psoriasis with limited effect. Since December 2021, the patient experienced worsening of his skin symptoms with rapidly growing tumors and widespread patches and plaques. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography evaluation revealed markedly metabolic activity related to the skin tumors and increased FDG uptake in several retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Histological assessment of skin biopsies demonstrated a highly proliferative T-cell lymphoma with a γ/δ+ and CD8+ cytotoxic phenotype. The morphology of the tumor cells appeared blastic with an abnormal immunephenotype CD3+, CD2-, CD5dim, CD4-, CD8+, CD56-, and CD30-. Next-generation sequencing detected a likely pathogenic SOCS1 mutation with an allele frequency of 72% as well as a STAT3 variant of unknown significance. This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of an indolent skin lymphoma evolving into an aggressive cytotoxic lymphoma.

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma is a group of non-Hodgkin T-cell lymphomas that develop in and affect the skin but can potentially spread to other organs. There are many subtypes, the most common of which are mycosis fungoides, Sezary syndrome, lymphomatoid papulosis, and primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Cutaneous lymphoma is a common cause of recalcitrant chronic skin rash and notoriously mimics other dermatologic and hematologic conditions, often resulting in diagnostic delays of months to years. This review provides an introduction to cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, with a primary focus on the clinical presentation, diagnosis, immunopathogenesis, and management of the condition.

Patients with primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) often experience severe and difficult-to-treat pruritus that negatively affects their quality of life (QoL). However, the mechanisms of pruritus in CTCL, including mycosis fungoides (MF), remain largely unknown, and detailed characteristics of CTCL-associated pruritus is not fully elucidated. To characterize pruritus in CTCL, cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (CBCL), and large plaque parapsoriasis (LPP), and to identify potential itch mediators involved in the pathogenesis of pruritus in CTCL patients. Clinical data and blood samples were collected from 129 healthy subjects and 142 patients. Itch intensity, QoL impairment, psychological distress, and sleep quality were assessed using validated questionnaires and instruments. Blood levels of BDNF, CCL24, GRP, IL-31, IL-33, sST2, substance P, TSLP, tryptase and total IgE were measured using ELISA or ImmunoCAP. Pruritus was prevalent in CTCL, LPP and CBCL patients, with higher prevalence and severity observed in CTCL. In CTCL, pruritus correlated with significant impairment in QoL, sleep, psychological distress. Compared to healthy controls, elevated levels of IL-31, IL-33, substance P, total IgE, tryptase, and TSLP were found in MF patients. A comparison of MF patients with and without pruritus revealed higher levels of IL-31, substance P, GRP, and CCL24 in the former. Itch intensity positively correlated with IL-31, GRP, CCL24, and tryptase levels. Pruritus significantly burdens CTCL patients, necessitating appropriate therapeutic management. Our findings suggest that various non-histaminergic mediators such as tryptase and IL-31 could be explored as novel therapeutic targets for managing pruritus in MF patients.
