Primary cutaneous immunocytoma: report of an unusual case with secondary spreading to the gastrointestinal tract.

Cutaneous immunocytoma are low-grade B-cell lymphomas, which affect the skin either primarily or secondarily. Primary cutaneous immunocytomas usually present with one or a small number of lesions, mainly in the extremities. They generally remain confined to the skin. Histologically, there are polymorphous infiltrates of cells, in which the presence of monoclonal plasma cells is characteristic. We describe a case of cutaneous immunocytoma with secondary spread to the gastrointestinal tract.

Painful tumors of the skin: "LEND AN EGG".

Some tumors of the skin are difficult to diagnose because they are clinically nondescript. However, if they are painful, nine unique tumors should be considered. In addition to the commonly accepted tender lesions, we describe a painful nodule in a patient who proved to have a granular cell tumor. We summarize the clinical and histologic features of the "LEND AN EGG" tumors: leiomyoma, eccrine spiradenoma, neuroma, dermatofibroma, angiolipoma, neurilemmoma, endometrioma, glomus tumor, and granular cell tumor.

Linear focal elastosis (elastotic striae).

Three patients are described who had a distinctive clinical and histologic presentation of dermal elastosis. Sunlight apparently played little role in the development of this elastotic change. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of this form of elastosis.

Alopecia associated with underlying nerve sheath myxoma.

This report describes a 16-year-old girl who was referred for a 2.5-cm macular area of alopecia of the posterior portion of the scalp. A subcutaneous nerve sheath myxoma was found underlying the area of alopecia. Hair growth resumed within 4 weeks after removal of the nerve sheath tumor.

Intracellular elastin in generalized granuloma annulare.

This report reviews thirteen cases of generalized granuloma annulare. The light and electron microscopic appearance of intracellular elastin particles in eleven of these cases is described. These bodies were also noted in deep granuloma annulare, elastosis perforans serpiginosa, and a small percentage of localized granuloma annulare. They were not found in necrobiosis lipoidica.

Eccrine gland clear reticulated cytoplasm.

This report relates how a normal variation of the eccrine secretory coil was mistaken for pathologic change. Electron microscopic studies of this variation, which to the best of our knowledge have not previously been reported, are presented.

Eosinophilic panniculitis.

A patient is described who developed sore throat, palpable purpura, and a distinctive panniculitis. The pathologic alterations in the subcutis were similar to what Wells described in the dermis as eosinophilic cellulitis. In our experience the presence of such a picture primarily in the subcutis is unique. Streptococcus is implicated as a possible antigenic stimulus for the process in this patient.

Tubular apocrine adenoma with perineural invasion.

A tumor is reported that had remarkable pathologic changes showing with light microscopy a pattern in some portions consistent with tubular apocrine adenoma, while other areas were suggestive of syringoid eccrine carcinoma. Perineural invasion, commonly seen in syringoid eccrine carcinoma and never before reported in tubular apocrine adenoma, was found. Electron microscopy revealed the true apocrine nature of the tumor even though the tissue had been stored for 2 months in buffered formalin prior to processing.

Eyelid cysts, hypodontia, and hypotrichosis.

We report a case of multiple ectodermal defects with the principal features of eyelid apocrine hydrocystomas , hypodontia, and hypotrichosis. To the best of our knowledge this is the second such report and presents histologic features that are unique in our experience.
