Syringotropic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma: a variant of mycosis fungoides?
We report two patients with the typical clinical (patches/plaques studded with brownish-red papules) and histopathological (hyperplastic eccrine ducts and glands surrounded and infiltrated by lymphocytes) features of syringotropic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Immunohistochemical studies confirmed the T-cell character of the infiltrate, and gene rearrangement studies its monoclonality (in one case). Our patients did not present with visceral involvement.
