P001 A rare cause of blistering: aggressive bullous cutaneous T-cell lymphoma N. Watson, S. Fatah, C. Bacon, J. Frew and S. Weatherhead Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle Upon Tyne, U.K., The James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough, U.K. and Northern Centre for Cancer Care, Newcastle Upon Tyne, U.K. A 58-year-old man presented with a 3-month history of acute onset tense blisters on his hands and feet without systemic symptoms or recent medication exposure. Eighteen months prior, he had multiple widespread erythematous patches and plaques which were treated as ‘eczema’ in the community. Tense bullae were visible on his hands/feet, some superimposed on existing plaques. There were several large tumours on his forearms, with widespread erythematous patches. Skin biopsy showed a diffuse atypical lymphoid infiltrate affecting the thickness of the dermis and extending into subcutaneous fat. The infiltrate was composed of medium-sized atypical cells with irregular hyperchromatic nuclei, admixed small lymphocytes and macrophages and large nucleolated lymphoid cells. Minimal epidermotropism and folliculotropism were observed. The atypical lymphoid cells expressed CD3 and CD2, but no CD4, CD5, CD8, TCR-beta, TCR-gamma, CD30, CD56 or cytotoxic proteins. They were negative for EBV-EBER in situ hybridization. The Ki67 proliferation index was 80%. PCRbased clonality showed clonal TCRG and TCRD gene rearrangements. Direct immunofluorescence was negative. CT scan showed 10 mm inguinal lymph nodes bilaterally. After multidisciplinary discussion, the clinicopathological picture was most consistent with an aggressive form of bullous mycosis fungoides (MF), probably of gamma/delta T-cell lineage. R-CHOP chemotherapy achieved an initial good response but his disease relapsed within 2 weeks. Treatment was switched to liposomal doxorubicin with near complete resolution of his lesions. Subsequently, he developed painful, erythematous eyes with deteriorating vision. Vitreous biopsy confirmed lymphomatous involvement but MRI showed no CNS disease. Total skin electron beam therapy was delivered to the entire skin surface (30 Gray); separate radiotherapy was given to his orbits. Subsequent imaging showed complete remission, so he proceeded to sibling allogenic stem cell transplantation but relapsed and died 2 months later. Skin biopsy performed at progression showed similar features to earlier biopsies but now demonstrated cytotoxic protein expression. The differential diagnosis of gamma-delta T-cell lymphoma (TCL) was therefore re-visited, although the overall clinicopathological picture was considered most consistent with bullous MF. Bullous mycosis fungoides is an extremely rare form of MF, and blisters are not reported in aggressive gamma-delta TCL. It presents in older patients with no sex predilection. Vesiculobullous lesions usually appear months-years after classical patches/ plaques stage of the disease but can rarely be the primary manifestation of MF. The limited literature on this rare phenotype suggests a poor prognosis (Bowman PH, Hogan DJ, Sanusi ID. Mycosis fungoides bullosa: report of a case and review of the literature. J Am Acad Dermatol 2001; 45: 934–9).
