“…However, primary cutaneous Hodgkin's disease is rare (Szur et al, 1970;Long, Mihm & Qazi, 1976;Saxe, Kahn & King, 1977), and some even doubt its existence (Brehmer-Andersson, t976). Moreover, when a malignant lymphoma presents as a solitary cutaneous tumour, as in the present patient, the histology may be difficult to interpret (Smith & Levene, 1978), especially as the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells in an infiltrate is not pathognomonic of Hodgkin's disease and similar cells may occur in other malignant conditions (Strum, Park & Rappaport, 1970). The large pleomorphic cells in our patient's tumour were eventually considered to be abnormal plasma cells rather than Reed-Sternberg cells and the diagnosis of plasmacytoid lymphoma (extra-medullary plasmacytoma) was thought to be the correct one.…”

For the modern evidence based medicine classification systems are necessary to guarantee a unifying approach for therapy and for prognosis of diseases. The comparability of clinical studies depends of the usage of adequate classification systems. But because all classifications are artificial, they only mirror the technical possibilities of its area.This review discusses the history of lymphoma classifications systems with a special focus on the topic of primary cutaneous lymphomas and the retikuloendothelial system. Furthermore special problems in terminology are discussed.clinical behavior and prognosis than histologically, cytomorphologically and immunohistochemically identical secondary cutaneous and nodal lymphomas [13]. However, for years the B-cell lymphomas in particular were divided into a classification system for nodal lymphomas which was partly not reproducible, resulting in serious consequences for treatment, which failed to meet the prognosis [13,14].

Premalignant lymphoid hyperplasia preceding and coexisting with malignant lymphoma in the skin

A primary malignant lymphoma of the skin had concurrent and antecedent lesions showing histologic changes of completely benign lymphoid hyperplasia. The malignant lymphoma itself evolved during a few years, although specimens from repeated biopsies had previously exhibited benign lymphoid hyperplasia. We urge that persistent benign lymphoid hyperplasia in its many clinical forms in the skin be recognized as a long-term premalignant lesion. Awareness of such a continuum of benign to malignant change aids in the interpretation of the histologic findings in these growths and alerts the clinician to the need for years of careful surveillance. Histologic assessment should indicate whether the specimen shows benign, indeterminate, or malignant change.

An unusual presentation of cutaneous malignant lymphoma

Abstract: Summary A case of malignant lymphoma is reported which presented as a solitary, rapidly growing tumour on the lip, clinically resembling a cutaneous epithelioma. The difficulties which may be encountered in the histological diagnosis of such a lesion are discussed.
