RESUMO
ABSTRACT: Conventional therapies for CD8 + cutaneous T-cell lymphoma include topical steroids, topical nitrogen mustard, topical bexarotene, ultraviolet B therapy, psoralen and ultraviolet A therapy, local radiotherapy, and interferon alfa; however, these treatments are often found to be ineffective. Presented is a case of CD8 + cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with near-complete response to narrow-band ultraviolet therapy because of chronic radiation dermatitis initially believed to be possible progression of a CD8 + cutaneous epidermotropic cytotoxic T-cell lymphoma.

Sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma (sRCC) is an aggressive variant of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) that has a significantly lower overall survival. Even after prompt surgical extirpation, this histologic variant progresses rapidly. We present a case of an early recurrence and rapid progression of sRCC despite successful radical resection.
