Abstract:
We report a case of Epstein Barr virus-associated large B cell lymphoproliferative disorder, with an abdominal cutaneous localization, in an adult treated for 10 years with immunosuppressive agents for a dermatomyositis. This is the third case of immunosuppressive induced lymphoproliferative disorder localized to skin in a patient with dermatomyositis. Diagnosis was unexpectedly obtained by the histologic examination of surgical samples of skin necrosis possibly induced by edetate calcium disodium subcutaneous injections in calcinosis cutis.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen and...
