Abstract
The cytotoxic T-cell and natural killer (NK)-cell lymphomas and related disorders are important but relatively rare lymphoid neoplasms that frequently are a challenge for practicing pathologists. This selective review, based on a meeting of the International Lymphoma Study Group, briefly reviews T-cell and NK-cell development and addresses questions related to the importance of precise cell lineage (αβ-type T cell, γδ T cell, or NK cell), the implications of Epstein-Barr virus infection, the significance of anatomic location including nodal disease, and the question of further categorization of enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphomas. Finally, developments subsequent to the 2008 World Health Organization Classification, including the recognition of indolent NK-cell and T-cell disorders of the gastrointestinal tract are presented.

Abstract
In 2007, Petrella et al described a series of patients with clonally restricted, well-differentiated, nonepidermotropic, CD8-dominant lymphocytic infiltrates localized to the facial area. The clinical course described was indolent. A CD8 variant of primary cutaneous pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma has been proposed; however, there are many dissimilar features. The authors encountered 2 patients with CD8⁺ indolent lymphoid proliferation of the face, localized to the eyelid. Both patients were males in their 30s presenting with localized lesions of the eyelids. The biopsies showed an effacing lymphocytic infiltrate that spanned the sampled dermis. The lymphocytes were well differentiated, exhibiting mild nuclear contour irregularity. The infiltrate was predominated by CD8⁺ lymphocytes demonstrating TIA expression. There was a minimal B-cell component in 1 case, whereas another showed a significant degree of B-cell hyperplasia. They both underwent complete excision without recurrence. CD8⁺ indolent lymphoid proliferation has a reproducible clinical and morphologic presentation that warrants categorization as a distinct form of indolent lymphoproliferative disease, preferentially involving older adults with the most common site being the ear, recognizing that the nose, acral surfaces, and eyelids can also be involved.

Abstract
Indolent CD8+ cutaneous lymphoid proliferation represents a recently described entity among cutaneous T-cell lymphomas that typically presents with solitary skin lesions on the face or at acral sites and usually follows an indolent clinical course. Histopathologically, this entity is characterized by a dense dermal infiltrate of non-epidermotropic, small- to medium-sized pleomorphic CD8+ T-cells of the non-activated cytotoxic phenotype showing a clear-cut grenz zone and a low proliferation index. Distinction from otherwise aggressive T-cell lymphomas bearing a cytotoxic CD8+ phenotype is fundamental. We herein present an unusual case of indolent CD8+ cutaneous lymphoid proliferation presenting in bilateral symmetrical distribution on both feet and lacking the otherwise described grenz zone. Our case widens the spectrum of possible clinical and histomorphological variations of this entity. Taking into account the distinctive and unique clinical and microscopic features of all hitherto published cases of indolent CD8+ cutaneous lymphoid proliferation we suppose that this lymphoma subtype has to be included as a new and distinct entity in the World Health Organisation (WHO)-/European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC)-classification of cutaneous lymphomas.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In 2007, Petrella et al. identified a new entity: CD8 T-cell indolent lymphoma of the ear. CASE REPORT A 40-year-old man presented a nodular erythematous and violaceous painless lesion on his right ear that had appeared four months earlier. Excision histology revealed a non-epidermotropic T-cell proliferation infiltrating the entire dermis and subcutis but with sparing of a grenz zone. The monotonous infiltrate was positive for CD8, CD3, CD5 and TIA-1, and negative for CD30, CD4, CD56, ALK and EMA. The Mib1 proliferation index was 20%. Lyme serology and PCR for EBV were negative. Additional examinations showed no extracutaneous involvement. DISCUSSION CD8+ indolent lymphoma is an entity first described in 2007 and reported in the literature in 15 patients. Lesions are located on the nose or external ear. It comprises a non-epidermotropic proliferation of CD8+ T lymphocytes negative for CD4, CD30, CD56, CD57, granzyme B and perforin. The Mib1 proliferation index is low. This new entity appears neither in the 2005 World Health Organization/European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (WHO/EORTC) classification of cutaneous lymphomas nor in the WHO 2008 Classification of tumours of haematopoietic and lymphoid tissues. Surgical treatment or radiotherapy is sufficient, and unlike aggressive, epidermotropic CD8+ T lymphomas chemotherapy is not required.

Abstract
The last classification of lymphomas of the World Health Organization in 2008 made a few changes from the preceding classification. Although useful, at the same time, it has posed new questions, concerns, and dilemmas which have been raised in the literature. The current report highlights some of these controversies, of each of these primary cutaneous entities, going through cutaneous mature T-cell and NK-cell neoplasms, mature B-cell neoplasms, precursor neoplasms, and other entities, which for several reasons do not fit in the previous categories. It also reviews some advances on many of these lymphomas published in the last 2 years.

Abstract
We report two cases of a CD8-positive lymphoid proliferation presenting as solitary lesions on the ear and nose, respectively. Histopathologically, both cases were characterized by a diffuse non-epidermotropic dermal proliferation of clonal medium-sized CD8-positive T-lymphocytes with a lymphoblast-like appearance, having cells with large folded nuclei, prominent nucleoli and ample amphophilic or pale eosinophilic cytoplasm. Staging procedures excluded systemic involvement, and both lesions were successfully treated with localised radiotherapy without evidence of recurrence after 12 and 24 months' follow up, respectively. Previously reported cases on the ear had similar clinicopathological and immunophenotypical features, and together raise the possibility of a distinct entity, an indolent CD8-positive lymphoid proliferation.

Abstract
Patients with skin nodules characterized by the infiltrate of pleomorphic small/medium T lymphocytes are currently classified as "primary cutaneous CD4+ small-/medium-sized pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma" (SMPTCL) or as T-cell pseudolymphoma. The distinction is often arbitrary, and patients with similar clinicopathologic features have been included in both groups. We studied 136 patients (male:female = 1:1; median age: 53 years, age range: 3-90 years) with cutaneous lesions that could be classified as small-/medium-sized pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma according to current diagnostic criteria. All but 3 patients presented with solitary nodules located mostly on the head and neck area (75%). Histopathologic features were characterized by nonepidermotropic, nodular, or diffuse infiltrates of small- to medium-sized pleomorphic T lymphocytes. A monoclonal rearrangement of the T-cell receptor-gamma gene was found in 60% of tested cases. Follow-up data available for 45 patients revealed that 41 of them were alive without lymphoma after a median time of 63 months (range: 1-357 months), whereas 4 were alive with cutaneous disease (range: 2-16 months). The incongruity between the indolent clinical course and the worrying histopathologic and molecular features poses difficulties in classifying these cases unambiguously as benign or malignant, and it may be better to refer to them with a descriptive term such as "cutaneous nodular proliferation of pleomorphic T lymphocytes of undetermined significance," rather than forcing them into one or the other category. On the other hand, irrespective of the name given to these equivocal cutaneous lymphoid proliferations, published data support a nonaggressive therapeutic strategy, particularly for patients presenting with solitary lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, Petrella et al. described four patients with an unusual CD8+ lymphoid proliferation arising on the ear. These cases do not correspond clearly to any recognized category of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) described in the World Health Organization (WHO)/European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) 2005 classification. METHODS AND RESULTS Three patients (all men; median age 64; range: 61-69) presented with plaques or small tumors localized on the ears. All lesions showed histopathologically a dense, diffuse infiltration of lymphocytes within the entire dermis without epidermotropism. Cytomorphology revealed predominance of medium-sized pleomorphic lymphocytes. Immunohistochemistry showed a cytotoxic phenotype (CD3 + /CD4 -/CD8 +). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of the T-cell receptor (TCR)-gamma gene revealed a monoclonal rearrangement in two of three patients. Follow-up data of two patients were available; one is alive without skin or systemic manifestations of the disease after 28 months, whereas the other is alive with persistent skin disease after 7 months. CONCLUSIONS Our observation confirms that some patients present with a peculiar lymphoid proliferation of small-medium pleomorphic cytotoxic lymphocytes located on the ear, probably representing a phenotypic variant of the cutaneous small/medium pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma (CSMPTCL). These cases should not be misinterpreted as a high-grade cytotoxic lymphoma.

Abstract
The objective of our study was to investigate the clinicopathological features of the currently ill-defined subtype of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma of unspecified type (CTCLU) with a cytotoxic phenotype and no Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) association. A series of 27 patients with CTCLU (median age 49 years; range 25-87 years; 18 men) was reviewed. Performance status scores above 1 (7%), clinical stages above 2 (15%), B symptoms (26%), extracutaneous involvement (30%), and a fatal course within 1 year of diagnosis (19%) were observed infrequently. The International Prognostic Index was high or high to intermediate in 11%, and the Prognostic Index for Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma unspecified was above group 2 in 22%. Notably, the rates of spontaneous regression and T-cell receptor gene rearrangements by polymerase chain reaction analysis were seen in 26 and 17% of our cases, respectively. Histologically, 22 patients had subcutaneous involvement of whom eight showed a lethal clinical course, and five patients without subcutaneous involvement were all survivors. Immunophenotypical and morphological features allowed us to subclassify our cases according to the following four categories: (1) epidermotropic CD8+ T-cell lymphoma (n=5); (2) cutaneous gamma/delta T-cell lymphoma (n=8); (3) cutaneous alpha/beta pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma (n=8); and (4) cutaneous medium/large pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (n=6). All four of these groups of lymphomas exhibited a relatively favorable clinical course compared to previous reports. However, epidermotropic CD8+ T-cell lymphoma appeared to be unique with a higher ratio (80%) of spontaneous regression, a lower ratio (40%) of subcutaneous involvement, and a more favorable clinical course than the other three subcategories.

Abstract
Cutaneous lymphomas are uncommon in people and companion animals. The tumors can be broadly categorized into epitheliotropic and nonepitheliotropic forms, which appear to have different biological behaviors. The present case describes a feline cutaneous epitheliotropic lymphoma. Masses in a 9-year-old cat were first identified on the tail. The cat was treated with chemotherapy, but additional skin masses developed on the flank, face, and ears. Local radiation induced transient tumor regression, but eventual dissemination prompted euthanasia 13 months after initial tumor appearance. Granular lymphocytes were consistently detected on blood smears, and histologically, the tumor involved the skin and superficial subcutis. Tumor lymphocytes expressed cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) and perforin molecules, suggestive of a cytotoxic phenotype. Location, histopathological features, and perforin expression were similar to a distinct entity in human medicine designated primary cutaneous, CD8-positive, epidermotropic, cytotoxic, T-cell lymphoma.
