Malignant lymphoma presenting with cutaneous granulomas.

K M Diette, W A Caro, H H Roenigk

    Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
    |May 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    A patient developed a sarcoid reaction with skin nodules and neurological symptoms, later diagnosed with malignant lymphoma. The study suggests cutaneous granulomas can be a nonspecific immune response to lymphoma.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Immunology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Malignant lymphoma can present with diverse systemic symptoms.
    • Sarcoid reactions are granulomatous inflammatory responses that can mimic sarcoidosis.

    Observation:

    • A 49-year-old man presented with constitutional symptoms, pneumonia, cutaneous nodules, and neurological deficits.
    • Biopsies revealed granulomatous inflammation in the skin, liver, and bone marrow, initially suggesting a sarcoid reaction.
    • Further investigation identified an intracranial mass, confirmed as malignant lymphoma, large cell type.

    Findings:

    • The patient's cutaneous granulomas were deemed a nonspecific immune response to the underlying lymphoma.
    • Autopsy confirmed lymphoma and found no granulomatous infiltrates, ruling out sarcoidosis.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering lymphoma in patients presenting with sarcoid-like reactions and neurological symptoms.
    • Understanding the relationship between sarcoidosis, sarcoid reactions, and lymphoma is crucial for accurate diagnosis and patient management.
