Linfoma cutaneo epiteliotropo: aspetti clinico-patologici in 20 cani
Canine epitheliotropic cutaneous lymphoma, also named
mycosis fungoides, has been described as an uncommon cutaneous lymphoma
of T-cell origin, which is histologically characterized by the
epitheliotropism of neoplastic T-lymphocytes. Two variants have been
reported in man, based upon clinical and histopathological features:
classical mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome. The disease in dogs is
clinically classified as cutaneous nodular form, exfoliative
erythroderma, mucocutaneous form, and oral form.
Aim of the study - The aim is to point out the most interesting clinical
and histopathological findings for the diagnosis, also carrying out a
comparison with the human species.
Material and methods - We report the cases of 20 dogs, diagnosed with
epitheliotropic cutaneous lymphoma. Medical records of these animals
were reviewed for rilevant data on signalment, anamnesis, clinical
examination and histopathologic diagnosis.
Results - All the clinical variants described by Scott in veterinary
medicine were present alone or in combination: exfoliative erythroderma
(75% dogs), mucocutaneous form (65% dogs), cutaneous nodular form (55%
dogs), and oral form (25% dogs). On the basis of histological features,
the most represented variant was pagetoid reticulosis (14/20 dogs, 70%).
Sezary syndrome could not be found.
Discussion - The clinical and histopathological features that were
observed reflected those previously reported in the published
literature, and showed interesting findings to be compared with the
homologous human neoplasia
