Article Title: A Rare case of primary cutaneous gamma-delta T-cell lymphoma with aberrant B-cell marker expression
Abstract: ABSTRACT: Primary cutaneous gamma-delta T-cell lymphoma (PCGDTL) is a rare and diagnostically challenging primary skin lymphoma. We present a case of a 78-year-old otherwise healthy man who developed nonhealing nodules on his right posterior calf. Initial biopsy showed a dense, atypical, lymphoid infiltrate with gamma-delta and cytotoxic T-cell immunophenotypes. The diagnosis of PCGDTL was rendered; however, concurrent flow cytometry revealed expression of aberrant B-cell markers, including CD19 and cytoplasmic CD79a. Subsequent immunohistochemical studies corroborated this result. We report the extremely rare phenomenon of aberrant B-cell marker expression in PCGDTL, the first formally reported case to our knowledge. Copyright © 2023 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
