Dermatopathic lymphadenopathy
Diagnosis in short

Dermatopathic lymphadenopathy. H&E stain.
LM sinus histiocytosis with melanin pigment, esoinophils, plasma cells
LM DDx malignant melanoma, sinus histiocytosis, Hodgkin lymphoma
Stains Fontana-Masson stain
Site lymph node - see lymph node pathology
Associated Dx T-cell lymphoma
Signs enlarged lymph node
Prevalence uncommon
Prognosis benign
Clin. DDx other cause of lymphadenopathy

Dermatopathic lymphadenopathy, abbreviated DL, is a rare pathology of the lymph nodes.

General

  • Lymphadenopathy associated with a skin lesion.
    • May not always be true.[1]
  • Benign in itself.[2]
    • May be associated with a malignancy - esp. T-cell lymphoma.[3][4]

Microscopic

Features:[5]

  • Abundant histiocytes & special histiocytes - in loose irregular clusters - located in the sinuses, i.e. sinus histiocytosis - key feature:
    • Do not form granuloma; may be similar to toxoplasma.
  • Plasma cells (medulla).
  • Eosinophils.

Histiocytes & special histiocytes:

  • Histiocytes:
    • +/-Melanin pigment key feature (if present).
    • Lipid-laden macrophages.
  • Interdigitating dendritic cells:
    • Need IHC to identify definitively.
  • Langerhans cells:
    • Classically have a kidney bean nuclei.
    • Need IHC to identify definitively.

DDx:

IHC

  • Interdigitating dendritic cells: S100 +ve, CD1a -ve.
  • Langerhans cells: S100 +ve, CD1a +ve.
