==Dermatopathic lymphadenopathy==
===General===
{{Main|Dermatopathic lymphadenopathy}}
*Lymphadenopathy associated with a skin lesion - '''key feature'''.
*May be benign ''or'' malignant (e.g. T-cell lymphoma).
 
===Microscopic===
Features:<ref name=ILNP226>{{Ref ILNP|226}}</ref>
*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:
*[[Metastatic]] [[malignant melanoma]] - (melanin) pigmented cells have nuclear atypia, not histiocytes.
*[[Sinus histiocytosis]] - no cells with melanin.
