CUTANEOUS T-CELL LYMPHOMA ASSOCIATED WITH GRANULOMATOUS SLACK SKIN

Granulomatous slack skin disease (GSS) is a rare disorder characterize d by bulky cutaneous lesions and epithelioid and giant cell granulomas with destruction of the dermal elastic tissue. We detail the observat ion of a 29-year-old man with clinical and histological features of GS S. Pendulous skin tumors were associated with typical clinical and imm unohistochemical aspects of mycosis fungoides and with clonal rearrang ement of the V gamma T-cell receptor gene in lesional skin. This case report supports cutaneous T-cell lymphoma as a cause of GSS.
