Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma expressing gamma delta T-cell receptors (TCRs) is rare; only a few cases have been reported. We report another case of the disease that had a fatal outcome and differs from two previously reported cases in its clinical, histologic, and immunohistochemical aspects. The patient had multiple skin tumors with central crusts; she showed no response to chemotherapy and died within 1 year. Histologic findings included perivascular infiltrates in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue with no epidermotropism; the large lymphoid cells had a phenotype of CD1-, CD3+, CD4-, CD8-, CD25-/+, CD30-, CD38-/+, HLA-DR+, and gamma delta TCR (beta F1-, TCR delta 1+, delta TCS1-, Ti gamma A+, BB3-). The differences in the phenotype of gamma delta T-cell malignancies may reflect the uniqueness of its clinical and histologic features. A study of gamma delta T-cell malignancies may disclose important biologic features of gamma delta TCR+ cells.

D015703 Antigens, CD Differentiation antigens residing on mammalian leukocytes. CD stands for cluster of differentiation, which refers to groups of monoclonal antibodies that show similar reactivity with certain subpopulations of antigens of a particular lineage or differentiation stage. The subpopulations of antigens are also known by the same CD designation.

D016410 Lymphoma, T-Cell, Cutaneous A group of lymphomas exhibiting clonal expansion of malignant T-lymphocytes arrested at varying stages of differentiation as well as malignant infiltration of the skin. MYCOSIS FUNGOIDES; SEZARY SYNDROME; LYMPHOMATOID PAPULOSIS; and PRIMARY CUTANEOUS ANAPLASTIC LARGE CELL LYMPHOMA are the best characterized of these disorders.

D016692 Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell, gamma-delta T-cell receptors composed of CD3-associated gamma and delta polypeptide chains and expressed primarily in CD4-/CD8- T-cells. The receptors appear to be preferentially located in epithelial sites and probably play a role in the recognition of bacterial antigens. The T-cell receptor gamma/delta chains are separate and not related to the gamma and delta chains which are subunits of CD3 (see ANTIGENS, CD3).
