摘要目的 探讨原发性皮肤间变性大细胞淋巴瘤(C-ALCL)的临床病理特征、免疫表型及预后.方法 分析8例C-ALCL的临床病理资料,复习HE切片,进行T淋巴细胞、B淋巴细胞、活化淋巴细胞和细胞毒性等16种标记的免疫组织化学染色,原位杂交检测EB病毒.结果 8例中男3例,女5例,中位年龄49.5岁.临床上以皮肤无症状的单个红色结节、肿块为主要表现,组织学上肿瘤细胞在真皮与皮下脂肪内大片状、弥漫性浸润.瘤细胞以大细胞为主,异形性明显.8例C-ALCL的瘤细胞CD30阳性细胞数均大于75%.瘤细胞均表达1～3个T细胞标记(CD3、CD5或CD45RO)及1～3个细胞毒性标记[T细胞内抗原(TIA)-1、颗粒酶B或穿孔素].表达白细胞共同抗原(LCA)为8例、CIM为5例、CD8为1例、间变性淋巴瘤激酶(ALK)-1为1例、上皮细胞膜抗原(EMA)为3例,均不表达CD15、CD20、CK和HMB45.EBER 1/2原位杂交均为阴性.获随访的6例中5例存活,1例死亡(死因不详).结论 C-ALCL有独特的临床病理表现和免疫表型,预后较好.EB病毒与C-ALCL可能无明确的相关性.

abstractsObjective To study the clinicopathoiogic features, immunophenotype and prognosis of primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (C-ALCL). Methods Eight cases of C-ALCL were enrolled into the study. The clinicopathologic features, immunohistochemical findings and results of in-situ hybridization for EBER 1/2 were analyzed. Results Three of the 8 patients were males and 5 were females. The median age was 49.5 years. C-ALCL often presented with solitary skin nodule, without systemic symptoms. Histologically, the lymphoma cells infiltrated the dermis and subcutis in a sheet-like pattern. They were of large size and showed conspicuous nuclear atypia. Immunohistochemical study showed that more than 75% of the lymphoma cells were positive for CD30. All cases expressed one to three T cell markers (CD3, CD5 or CD45RO) and cytotoxic granule-associated antigens (TIA-1, granzyme B or perforin). The staining for leukocyte common antigen was positive in all cases, while the expression of CD5, CD8, ALK-1 and epithelial membrane antigen was noted in 5, 1, 1 and 3 cases, respectively. The staining for CD15, CD20, CK and HMB45 was negative, In-situ hybridization for EBER 1/2 was also negative in all the cases studied. Follow-up information was available in 6 patients. Five of them were still alive and 1 died of unclear cause. Conclusions C-ALCL has distinctive clinicopathologic and immunophenotypic features. It is not Epstein-Barr virus-related and often carries a favorable prognosis.
