Abstract
BACKGROUND Brentuximab vedotin (BV) has been approved for CD30-expressing cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) after at least one previous systemic treatment. However, real clinical practice is still limited. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the response and tolerance of BV in a cohort of patients with CTCL. METHODS We analysed CTCL patients treated with BV from the Spanish Primary Cutaneous Lymphoma Registry (RELCP). RESULTS Sixty-seven patients were included. There were 26 females and the mean age at diagnosis was 59 years. Forty-eight were mycosis fungoides (MF), 7 Sézary syndrome (SS) and 12 CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorders (CD30 LPD). Mean follow-up was 18 months. Thirty patients (45%) showed at least 10% of CD30+ cells among the total lymphocytic infiltrate. The median number of BV infusions received was 7. The overall response rate (ORR) was 67% (63% in MF, 71% in SS and 84% in CD30 LPD). Ten of 14 patients with folliculotropic MF (FMF) achieved complete or partial response (ORR 71%). The median time to response was 2.8 months. During follow-up, 36 cases (54%) experienced cutaneous relapse or progression. The median progression free survival (PFS) was 10.3 months. The most frequent adverse event was peripheral neuropathy (PN) (57%), in most patients (85%), grades 1 or 2. CONCLUSIONS These results confirm the efficacy and safety of BV in patients with advanced-stage MF, and CD30 LPD. In addition, patients with FMF and SS also showed a favourable response. Our data suggest that BV retreatment is effective in a proportion of cases.

Abstract
Pigmented epidermotropic breast cancer metastases are a rarity, often clinically misdiagnosed as melanocytic lesions. Histopathologically, they show a dermal proliferation of neoplastic metastatic cells that extend to the overlying epidermis in a pattern identical to that seen in primary Paget disease (PD). Differential diagnosis should be established with entities with a similar presentation, such as pigmented mammary PD and malignant melanoma. Immunohistochemistry may be useful for this purpose. We present a new case of pigmented epidermotropic breast cancer metastases with a particularly unusual feature: the absence of dermal infiltration by neoplastic cells, thus considered as pure epidermotropic metastatic involvement.

Abstract
Azathioprine is an immunosuppressant drug used in many dermatological and nondermatological pathologies. Azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome (AHS) is a rare idiosyncratic reaction that is not related to dose or thiopurine methyltransferase activity. Up to half of cases of AHS can present with variable cutaneous manifestations besides fever, malaise and other systemic symptoms. It is important to be aware of AHS, as continuance or reintroduction of the drug can led to multiorgan failure and cardiovascular collapse.

Abstract
Targeted anticancer therapy is being used with greater frequency and dermatologic toxicities are among the most frequent adverse events of these drugs. However, histopathological features of these adverse events are not yet well characterized. We present two cases of clinically different cutaneous toxicities on two patients with hematologic neoplasia. They were treated with different drugs and in both cases medications shared inhibition of PI3K as mechanism of action. The skin biopsy specimen showed endothelial cell atypia with large nuclei and mitotic figures. To the best of our knowledge, no other cases with these striking histopathologic findings have been reported with PI3K inhibitors or other anticancer targeted therapy.

Abstract
Toker cells (TCs) are sometimes present in the nipple epidermis as oval cells with pale cytoplasm and roundish nuclei. In most cases, TCs may be easily distinguished from cancerous cells of Paget disease of the nipple (PCs). Especially in TC hyperplasia, in which mild-to-moderate atypia may be present, it may be challenging to distinguish between TCs and PCs. The combination of chronic inflammatory changes in the nipple, in the context of Zuska disease, and TC hyperplasia, may easily lead to an erroneous diagnosis of mammary Paget disease.

Abstract
Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is a low-grade adnexal carcinoma with controversial lines of differentiation. We present here an example of MAC showing histopathologic findings of germinative follicular differentiation in the form of solid aggregates of trichoblastoma intermingled with neoplastic aggregates of MAC. Immunohistochemical findings, showing positivity for PHLDA1 and negativity for BerEp4 in neoplastic aggregates of trichoblastoma, also supported a germinative follicular differentiation. Follicular differentiation in MAC supports an apocrine line of differentiation for this neoplasm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-neural granular cell tumor (NNGCT) is an uncommon neoplasm of controversial histogenesis and its histopathologic differential diagnosis includes, in addition to conventional GCT, other dermal tumors that may exhibit granular cell change. METHODS Three patients with a diagnosis of NNGCT were identified in the authors' files. Hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections and immunohistochemical studies were performed. RESULTS Histopathological study of the three lesions showed dermal proliferation of granular cells arranged in thick fascicles between collagen bundles. The lesions showed positivity for Factor XIIIa, CD163, CD68, NKIC3, vimentin, ALK, fascin, and cyclin D1. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, positivity for cyclin D1 has not been reported to date in NNGCT. In borderline cases, where the diagnosis is unclear despite histopathologic and immunohistochemical findings, positivity for cyclin D1 may favor the diagnosis of NNGCT. Further investigations to assess the differentiation of this rare neoplasm are needed.
