A 68-year-old woman had a peculiar clinical course of cutaneous lymphoma. She first developed nonpuritic erythematous macules with fine scales followed by development of erythematous infiltrated plaques. The clinical course could be interpreted as that of mycosis fungoides. Histologically, the lesions showed pagetoid infiltration of atypical lymphoid cells. Suddenly, with high fever, numerous purpuric, ulcerated, or crusted plaques with underlying infiltration or nodules began to appear on most areas of the patient's body. Biopsy specimens of the lesions revealed angiocentric and angiodestructive infiltration by neoplastic T cells and marked epidermotropism of these cells. These atypical cells immunohistochemically had CD8+ surface phenotype. The patient died of respiratory insufficiency due to acute pulmonary infiltration. Autopsy demonstrated angiocentric and angiodestructive lymphomatous infiltration in the lung.

D009336 Necrosis The death of cells in an organ or tissue due to disease, injury or failure of the blood supply.
D010145 Paget Disease, Extramammary A rare cutaneous neoplasm that occurs in the elderly. It develops more frequently in women and predominantly involves apocrine gland-bearing areas, especially the vulva, scrotum, and perianal areas. The lesions develop as erythematous scaly patches that progress to crusted, pruritic, erythematous plaques. The clinical differential diagnosis includes squamous cell carcinoma in situ and superficial fungal infection. It is generally thought to be an adenocarcinoma of the epidermis, from which it extends into the contiguous epithelium of hair follicles and eccrine sweat ducts.
