RESUMO

Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is a rarely occurring non-Hodgkin lymphoma with predilection for the nasal cavity. Cutaneous involvement, rarely occurring and often aggressive in behavior, may present as nodular mass-forming lesions with or without ulceration. Histologically, lesions are characterized by an atypical dermal lymphoid infiltrate with angioinvasion and associated necrosis. Fortuitously, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, implicated in the pathogenesis of this entity, serves as a useful diagnostic marker (i.e. EBER in situ hybridization). We present a 54-year-old-man who initially presented with two ulcerations on the right lower leg which progressed despite antibiotic therapy. Histologic examination demonstrated dense lymphoid infiltrates exhibiting epidermotropism, angiocentricity and angioinvasion extending into the deep dermis. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated expression of CD2, CD3, CD8, TIA-1, perforin, and granzyme-B, consistent with a cytotoxic T-cell phenotype. Additionally, CD56 was positive, confirming the presence of a coexistent NK cell phenotype. Testing also demonstrated significant CD30 expression, and molecular analysis was positive for TCR gene rearrangement. These findings, in conjunction with EBER in situ hybridization positivity, confirmed a diagnosis of extranodal NKTCL. We aim to increase awareness of this rarely occurring lymphoma with cutaneous involvement. CD30 expression in NKTCL raises the possibility of targeted treatment with brentuximab.

RESUMO

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a significant cause of acute respiratory disease in children and young adults. We describe a case of a 15-year-old boy who presented with an unusual scarlatiniform rash in the setting of a positive Mycoplasma pneumonia IgM but negative anti-streptolysin antibody. While mycoplasma infections with cutaneous manifestations such as scarlatiniform exanthema have been described in textbooks, there are no reports in the primary literature. We wish to highlight the recognition of alternate presentations of mycoplasma, and briefly discuss the role of molecular mimicry in its pathogenesis.

RESUMO

Prenatal ethanol exposure causes the most frequent preventable birth disorder, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). The effect of turmeric extracts in rescuing an ethanol-induced developmental defect using zebrafish as a model was determined. Ethanol-induced oxidative stress is one of the major mechanisms underlying FASD. We hypothesize that antioxidant inducing properties of turmeric may alleviate ethanol-induced defects. Curcuminoid content of the turmeric powder extract (5 mg/mL turmeric in ethanol) was determined by UPLC and found to contain Curcumin (124.1 ± 0.2 µg/mL), Desmethoxycurcumin (43.4 ± 0.1 µg/mL), and Bisdemethoxycurcumin (36.6 ± 0.1 µg/mL). Zebrafish embryos were treated with 100 mM (0.6% v/v) ethanol during gastrulation through organogenesis (2 to 48 h postfertilization (hpf)) and supplemented with turmeric extract to obtain total curcuminoid concentrations of 0, 1.16, 1.72, or 2.32 µM. Turmeric supplementation showed significant rescue of the body length at 72 hpf compared to ethanol-treated embryos. The mechanism underlying the rescue remains to be determined.
