AimsForkhead box protein 3‐positive (FoxP3+) T cell lymphoma, in the absence of human T cell lymphotrophic virus type 1 (HTLV‐1) infection, is rare and its clinicopathological characteristics still remain unclear. The aim of this study was to elucidate its characteristics.Methods and resultsWe describe here 11 cases of peripheral T cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (PTCL‐NOS) and two cases of mycosis fingoides (MF) which were positive for FoxP3. The median age of the 11 PTCL‐NOS cases was 65 years (range: 48–80 years), and all the patients were male. Eight patients (80%) showed stages III/IV disease, and six (60%) were categorized as high–intermediate/high‐risk groups according to the International Prognostic Index. Two cases of MF were 57‐ and 59‐year‐old males. Both cases were categorized as stage IA, according to International Society for Cutaneous Lymphomas/European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer (ISCL/EORTC) classification. Immunohistochemically, all the cases were negative for cytotoxic molecule marker, and nine (75%) were αβ T cell type. Scattered Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)‐infected cells were detected in four cases of PTCL‐NOS, implying the reactivation of EBV caused by the immunodeficient status of the patients.ConclusionsFoxP3+PTCL‐NOS constitute a minor phenotypical subtype with poor prognosis and EBV reactivation in some. Conversely, two cases of MF showed an indolent clinical course which was different from previously reported cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) cases.
