Primary cutaneous acral CD8 positive T cell lymphoproliferative disorder (CD8+ TLPD) is a disease in which a slow-growing papule or nodule develops on the ear or, less commonly, other acral sites. Acral sites are peripheral parts of the body and include the hands, arms, feet, legs, ears, nose, fingernails, and toenails.[1] Petrella et al., 2007[2] reported four patients with these lesions on their ears and termed the disorder indolent CD8+ lymphoid proliferation of the ear. In 2018, the World Health Organization and European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer provisionally classified this disorder as a lymphoma and termed it primary cutaneous acral CD8 positive T cell lymphoma.[3] (The "primary" used to designate cutaneous lymphomas indicates that the lymphoma was first diagnosed as limited to the skin and there was no evidence of spread to extracutaneous tissues for 6 months after the diagnosis was first made.[4]) In 2022, however, the International Consensus Classification (ICC) group of experts in various medical fields maintained that this disorder was not malignant and therefore termed it primary cutaneous acral CD8 positive T cell lymphoproliferative disorder.[1][5] This article follows the ICC classification and renaming of primary cutaneous acral CD8 positive T cell lymphoma as primary cutaneous acral CD8 positive T cell lymphoproliferative disorder.

Presentation

edit

At presentation, 31 patients with CD8+ TLPD were 29–89 years old (average 52.1 years); 23 were male, 8 were female; 26 had nodules, 5 had plaques; 28 had a single lesion, 2 had bilateral lesions, and 1 had multiple lesions; 18 had a single lesion on the ear, 3 on the nose, 1 on the leg, 4 on the foot, 2 on the arm, 1 on the hand, 1 on a non-acral site behind the ear, and 1 had disseminated lesions on the head and neck .[6] These lesions had been present for several months, were slow-growing, and reddish/purple nodules or plaques that measured up to several centimeters in maximal dimension. Among the 26 patients for which this data was available, their lesions began and slow growed for 3 to 420 months (median duration 12 months) prior to their diagnosis.[1] Various analyses to define the patients stage, i.e., extent, of disease using computed tomography scans and/or Bone marrow examinations almost uniformly found that the lesions did not spread to non-cutaneous sites.[6][7]
