Disseminated pagetoid reticulosis associated with mycosis fungoides: immunomorphologic study. 1986

J P Lacour, and L Juhlin, and P el Baze, and M Barety, and J P Ortonne

We report a 77-year-old woman with erythrosquamous plaques on the legs for 10 years. Biopsies taken 4 years ago revealed a pagetoid reticulosis with a massive epidermal cell infiltrate. She has now also developed a typical tumor of mycosis fungoides. The epidermal infiltrate of the two types of lesions bore the surface membrane marker for T lymphocytes rich in both T helper and T cytotoxic-suppressor subsets (ratio, 1.8). Both lesions also showed dendritic OKT6-positive Langerhans cells, and staining of the intercellular material with the DR locus of human lymphocyte antigen was positive. A dense dermal infiltrate was evident only in the mycosis fungoides lesions, and it was similar to that in the epidermis. Electron microscopy of the two lesions showed the atypical cells described in mycosis fungoides and the Sézary syndrome. These observations suggest that disseminated pagetoid reticulosis probably is a variant of mycosis fungoides.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007801 Langerhans Cells Recirculating, dendritic, antigen-presenting cells containing characteristic racket-shaped granules (Birbeck granules). They are found principally in the stratum spinosum of the EPIDERMIS and are rich in Class II MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX molecules. Langerhans cells were the first dendritic cell to be described and have been a model of study for other dendritic cells (DCs), especially other migrating DCs such as dermal DCs and INTERSTITIAL DENDRITIC CELLS.

D009182 Mycosis Fungoides A chronic, malignant T-cell lymphoma of the skin. In the late stages, the LYMPH NODES and viscera are affected.

D006377 T-Lymphocytes, Helper-Inducer Subpopulation of CD4+ lymphocytes that cooperate with other lymphocytes (either T or B) to initiate a variety of immune functions. For example, helper-inducer T-cells cooperate with B-cells to produce antibodies to thymus-dependent antigens and with other subpopulations of T-cells to initiate a variety of cell-mediated immune functions.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
