Malignant proliferative angioendotheliomatosis or angiotropic lymphoma associated with a soft-tissue lymphoma.

We report a 63-year-old man with violaceous nummular patches on the trunk. Histopathologic studies were consistent with a diagnosis of malignant angioendotheliomatosis or angiotropic lymphoma. Immunohistochemical study of skin was positive for UCHL-1 antigen and leukocyte common antigen and negative for L-26, Ulex europaeus lectin I, vimentin, cytokeratin, and epithelial membrane antigen. Ultrastructural study ruled out an endothelial origin of the neoplastic cells. These data confirmed the diagnosis of malignant proliferative angioendotheliomatosis. Five years before, a soft tissue lymphoma had been excised. This is an unusual case of malignant angioendotheliomatosis for the following two reasons: (1) a previous association with a soft tissue lymphoma and (2) the rarely described T immunophenotype of neoplastic lymphoid cells.

Reticulohistiocytoma cutis--review of 15 cases and an association with systemic vasculitis in two cases.

We reviewed 15 cases of reticulohistiocytoma cutis (RHC). Three cases were of solitary lesions. Four cases were associated with a destructive arthritis but no other systemic features. One additional patient had a destructive arthritis and lesions of reticulohistiocytoma in synovium, larynx, and mucosa. Three patients had associated xanthelasma. Two cases were associated with internal malignancy (metastatic malignant melanoma, adenocarcinoma of the bowel). Two cases were sequentially associated with systemic vasculitis (Wegener's granulomatosis, periarteritis nodosa). This occurrence of systemic vasculitis in RHC patients is unique. RHC may have variable cutaneous and systemic manifestations and associations with malignancy and immunoinflammatory diseases, including vasculitis.
