Abstract
- The current classification of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) of the World Health Organization (WHO) includes primary cutaneous CD8-positive aggressive epidermotropic cytotoxic T-cell lymphoma as a provisional entity awaiting cumulative data. Recent reports identify CD3/CD8-positive clonal T-cell lymphoid proliferations arising in the ear and nose that behave indolently and therefore defy currently established subclassification. Here, we report two cases of clonal CD8-positive/granzyme-B-negative T-cell lymphoid proliferations that arose in the ear and behaved indolently. Collectively, these cases suggest that an additional category of cutaneous indolent CD8-positive T-cell lymphoma may be necessary among the existing classification schemes.
