Summary

Extranodal CD30+ cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) rarely co-occurs with other cancers. This study presents two cases of CTCL with concurrent malignancies, highlighting favorable outcomes despite aggressive appearances.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Extranodal CD30+ T-cell lymphomas are a diverse group, often lacking specific translocations and anaplastic large cell lymphoma kinase protein.
  • CD30+ cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) generally has a good prognosis, especially without nodal involvement, and can spontaneously regress, sometimes overlapping with lymphomatoid papulosis.
  • While an increased incidence of solid tumors is noted in skin CD30+ non-Hodgkin lymphoma, concurrent malignancies are infrequent in CD30+ CTCL.

Observation:

  • Two patients with CD30+ CTCL were identified, each with a concurrent malignancy: disseminated gastric carcinoma in one and bilateral ovarian teratoma in the other.
  • Both cases exhibited aggressive clinical and histological features of CTCL.
  • Despite aggressive presentations, both patients experienced favorable clinical courses regarding their CTCL.

Findings:

  • One patient's CTCL completely responded to chemotherapy, but they later succumbed to gastric cancer.
  • The other patient's CTCL lesions regressed spontaneously following bilateral oophorectomy.
  • These cases suggest a potential, though rare, association between CD30+ CTCL and other solid tumors.

Implications:

  • The findings suggest that CD30+ CTCL, even with concurrent malignancies, may have a more favorable course than initially suggested by histology.
  • Further investigation into a possible relationship between CD30+ CTCL and other solid tumors is warranted.
  • These cases expand the understanding of the clinical behavior and potential associations of CD30+ CTCL.
