Abstract
Primary cutaneous CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) encompass a broad category of clonal T cell proliferations with varied clinical presentations. Classically, lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) and primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) have been recognized as distinct clinicopathological entities according to their differing clinical features. Recently, a subset of LyP and both cutaneous and systemic ALCL have been shown to carry a
DUSP22 translocation [
1‐
3], a defining molecular feature for the novel entity “LyP with DUSP22t” [
1]. In cutaneous biopsies, both primary cutaneous
DUSP22-translocated ALCL and LyP with
DUSP22 rearrangements are characterized by a biphasic pattern with significant small cell epidermotropism. A distinct protein expression profile with preserved T Cell Receptor (TCR) expression, positivity for CD30, LEF1, HLA, and CD58, and negativity for cytotoxic marker expression as well as phospho-STAT3 protein is consistently found in these cases.
