title: Pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma and large-cell anaplastic lymphoma of the skin. A morphological, immunophenotypical, and ultrastructural study of two typical cases.
abstract: Pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma and large-cell anaplastic lymphoma are recently defined lymphoma types that both occur in the skin. This report outlines the characteristics of these lymphomas and describes the clinical, histological, immunological, and ultrastructural features as seen in two typical case histories. Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas other than mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome are heterogeneous; they deserve further scientific attention to obtain data about their natural history and their response to therapy.
