Dermatoscopy of nodular/plaque-type primary cutaneous T- and B-cell lymphomas: A retrospective comparative study with pseudolymphomas and tumoral/inflammatory mimickers by the International Dermoscopy Society
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology Nov 12, 2021
Errichetti E, Geller S, Zalaudek I, et al. - Dermatoscopic clues are exhibited by nodular/plaque-type primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCLs). These clues could partially differ by histologic subtype and their diagnostic significance relies on the considered clinical differential diagnoses.
There exists limited data regarding dermatoscopy of nodular/plaque-type T-/B-cell PCLs.
This is a retrospective, multicenter case-control analysis of 261 lesions (121 PCLs and 140 controls).
In multivariate analysis, orange structureless areas most strongly predicted PCL dermatoscopically, vs tumors and noninfiltrative inflammatory dermatoses.
A positive link was identified between PCLs and either unfocused linear vessels with branches or focal white structureless areas vs infiltrative inflammatory dermatoses, whereas white lines predicted PCLs over pseudolymphomas.
Vascular pattern differed between B- and T-cell PCLs and among B-cell PCL subtypes.
