Eosinophil-Rich CD30+ Lymphoproliferative Disorder of the Oral Mucosa

Abstract: We describe 3 patients who had oral mucosal lesions with features of traumatic eosinophilic granuloma (TEG) and containing CD30+ atypical cells. In 1 patient, the oral lesion was followed by skin nodules. All lesions were evaluated histologically, by immunohistochemical analysis, and by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of the T-cell receptor (TCR) gamma chain gene. All oral lesions were characterized by a dense and deeply infiltrative lymphoproliferation, showing epitheliotropism and massive eosinophil… Show more

“…It has been suggested that delayed healing of EU is due to lack of TGF-α and TGF-β release by infiltrating eosinophils [16]. EU is considered the counterpart of cutaneous CD30+ lymphoproliferative disease [12,44,45]. The immunohistochemical and molecular biology studies demonstrating abundant oligoclonal CD30+ cells in the present case is in favor of this assumption.…”

“…The role of trauma in its etiology remains equivocal. 5 The factors that have been implicated in the etiology of cutaneous LyP include the presence of a strong repetitive but unknown antigenic stimuli, arthropod bites, Epstein-Barr virus infection, and predisposing benign or malignant skin conditions. 12,14,15 It is not known if any of these factors play a role in the etiology of oral LPDs.…”

“…It has been suggested that some cases of TUGSE may represent a CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorder. 16,17 CD30+ is a transmembrane glycoprotein commonly expressed on activated B and T lympocytes. The term ''atypical histiocytic granuloma'' has been used to describe a TUGSE-like lesion that manifests histologic characteristics of lymphoproliferative disease but presents with benign clinical course.…”
