Lymphomatoid papulosis and anaplastic large cell lymphomas of the skin.

It is now generally accepted that primary CD30+ cutaneous lymphomas comprise a clinical and morphologic spectrum in which a clear distinction between lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) and lymphoma cannot always be made. Management varies from observation in patients who have relatively asymptomatic, spontaneously remitting disease (as in LyP) to multiagent chemotherapy regimens with or without autologous stem cell transplantation in patients whose disease has spread to involve extracutaneous sites other than regional lymph nodes (as in disseminated CD30+ lymphoma). Choosing an appropriate management strategy requires correlation of the patient's clinical history (including symptoms) with physical exam and pathologic findings. The importance of clinicopathologic correlation cannot be overemphasized, because lesions with clinically "benign" behavior may appear "malignant" by pathology, and failure to interpret pathologic findings in accordance with the patient's clinical history and physical exam can result in unnecessary, overly aggressive, and potentially harmful treatments. This review highlights integration of clinical and pathologic features of these primary cutaneous CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorders.

Limitations of standardized skin surface biopsy in measurement of the density of Demodex folliculorum. A case report.

Standardized skin surface biopsy (SSSB) is an appropriate method for measuring the density of Demodex folliculorum (Dd). Nevertheless, the observation of a clinical case demonstrates that, contrary to what was presumed before, a single SSSB can fail to collect the complete biotope of the mite. This could give rise to false negative results regarding the measurement of Dd.

Papulosquamous diseases in the elderly.

This article refers to papulosquamous diseases that are seen in the elderly. Many of these diseases are complex to diagnose due to the fact that they are difficult to identify, because they may resemble a similar disorder, which can be misleading. The problem that is frequently seen with these diseases is that they are commonly misdiagnosed. In this article the authors include information that will help with identifying these diseases. The authors also provide important laboratory exams that can be performed and can help guide diagnosis, as well as differential diagnosis and treatment options.
