简要总结
The most frequent cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are mycosis fungoid and Sezary syndrome. The diagnosis of these lymphomas is difficult using current methods, especially because numerous benign dermatological conditions can mimick CTCL both clinically and under microscopic examination. Recently, the KIR receptor CD158k has been shown to be a marker for Sezary syndrome in both the blood and skin. We hypothesize that other receptors from the same family may help fro the diagnosis of these lymphomas. To address this issue, we will study the expression of all known KIR receptor in the skin of patients presenting with a skin eruption, which may correspond to either a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma or a benign dermatological disease. The final diagnosis will be established by a panel of experts, allowing constitution of 2 groups of patients : the cutaneous T-cell lymphoma group, and the benign inflammatory disease group. The expression of the different KIRs will be analyzed in both group in a blinded fashion, in order to determine whether one or a several KIRs may be differentially expressed.
详细描述
Background : The most frequent cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are mycosis fungoid and Sezary syndrome. Both are due to the proliferation of a CD4+ T-cell clone in the skin, associated with a blood involvement in Sezary syndrome. Mycosis fungoid clinically presents as a patches or plaques dermatitis and Sezary syndrome as an exfoliative dermatitis. The diagnosis of these lymphomas is difficult using current methods, especially because numerous benign dermatological inflammatory conditions can mimick CTCL both clinically and under microscopic examination. Recently, the KIR receptor CD158k has been shown to be a marker for Sezary syndrome in both the blood and skin. We hypothesize that other receptors from the same family may help fro the diagnosis of these lymphomas.
Aim of the study : to determine if one or a panel of KIR(s) receptor(s) may help for the differential diagnosis between cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and benign inflammatory dermatoses.
Subjects selection : all patients presenting to an investigator, member of the GFELC experts group ("French Group Study Cutaneous Lymphoma"), with either an exfoliative or patch/plaque dermatitis with a clinical suspicion of CTCL will be enrolled.
Number of subjects : A total of 550 patients could be recruited by the GFELC, including 180 CTCL (60 Sezary syndrome and 120 mycosis fungoid) and 370 inflammatory diseases (240 patch dermatitis and 130 exfoliative dermatitis).
Inclusion period : patients will be included during a 2 years period and will be followed during 6 months. Total study length will be 30 months.
