This study details a rare case of granulomatous slack skin (GSS), a form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Diagnosis involved T-cell receptor gene rearrangement, with treatment options including corticosteroids.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Granulomatous slack skin (GSS) is a rare neoplastic proliferation of T-cells.
  • Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) encompass a heterogeneous group of malignant skin conditions.

Observation:

  • A 48-year-old woman presented with GSS, characterized by slack skin, atrophy, poikiloderma, and granulomatous induration.
  • Histopathology revealed epidermotropism, lymphoid infiltration, foreign body giant cells, and granulomatous inflammation extending into the subcutis.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis was confirmed by detecting T-cell receptor gene rearrangement.
  • Serum angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity was identified as a potential marker for monitoring disease progression.

Implications:
