    Notes: We report two cases of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans in a Caucasian family involving a 28-year-old woman and her mother. This is an unusual family in that no male relatives are similarly affected. Secondly, both patients have no significant eye changes but quite extensive scarring alopecia. To the best of our knowledge this is the second reported family in the UK.

    Notes: Aims:  The pathogenesis and clinical significance of marginal zone differentiation in follicular lymphoma remains to be determined, although genetic alterations are likely to be important determinants of both. We therefore report the cytogenetic findings in three cases of follicular lymphoma with marginal zone differentiation studied by routine karyotyping and in-situ hybridization.Methods and results:  The morphology and immunophenotype of each case was typical of follicular lymphoma displaying marginal zone differentiation. Karyotyping, performed on GTL-banded preparations of cell cultures derived from fresh lymph node tissue, revealed a complex karyotype in all three cases, including t(14;18)(q32;q21) and abnormalities associated with progression and/or transformation of follicular lymphoma. In addition, trisomy 3 was found in one case and translocations between the q27-29 region of chromosome 3 and chromosome 2 in the other two cases; the latter was identified only in subclones derived from less complex stem lines possessing t(14;18). In-situ hybridization, performed on sections cut from routinely processed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks, localized cells possessing these abnormalities of chromosome 3 to both the follicular and marginal zone components of two lymphomas studied in this way.Conclusions:  Trisomy 3 and alterations involving the q27-29 region of chromosome 3 are implicated in the pathogenesis of de novo marginal zone lymphoma. Their presence in the current cases indicates that they may also be responsible for marginal zone differentiation in follicular lymphoma when cells harbouring these genetic alterations are exposed to the appropriate microenvironment. Our findings are consistent with follicular lymphoma with marginal zone differentiation as a high-risk variant of follicular lymphoma.

    Notes: Pseudosarcomatous proliferations of myofibroblasts. fibroblasts and inflammatory cells have been reported in a wide variety of sites and are most commonly termed idammatory pseudotumours. Despite increasing recognition, the occurrence of inflammatory pseudotumour in somatic soft tissue is poorly documented, such that these lesions are commonly mistaken for a variety of benign and malignant neoplasms. This report documents our experience of 18 cases of soft tissue inflammatory pseudotumour. All arose in adults (median age 54.5 years: range 28-83 years) and showed no sex predilection. Anatomical location was varied but the head and neck region and abdominal cavity were most common. They displayed a spectrum of histological appearances but all were characterized, to a greater or lesser extent, by an admixture of myofibroblasts and fibroblasts, most commonly arranged in short interwoven fascicles, together with a polymorphic inflammatory cell component, consisting principally of lymphocytes and plasma cells. In some cases xanthoma cells were prominent. Simple surgical excision appeared to be curative. The importance of recognizing the presence of a wide clinicopathological spectrum is emphasized and the differential diagnosis, especially from fibrohistiocytic neoplasms or Hodgkin's disease, is discussed.

    Notes: Plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumour is a recently described, seemingly benign neoplasm of superficial soft tissue which is poorly recognized and the differentiation pattern of which remains obscure. Fourteen new cases are presented here. These presented predominantly in the upper limb of infants and children, although the age-range was wide. A morphological spectrum depending on the relative proportions of the spindle cellular and nodular histiocyte-like components was evident. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed positivity of tumour cells in both components for smooth muscle actin. suggestive of myofibroblastic differentiation, as was borne out ultrastructurally in two cases. In addition, a minority of the histiocyte-like cells were also CD68 positive but negative for leucocyte common antigen. HLA-DR, Mac387 and lysozyme. In view of the ultrastructural and other immunohistochemical results, this is regarded as further evidence that the CD68 epitope recognized by KP-1 is not confined to cells of monocyte/ macrophage or myeloid lineage. Plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumour appears to be a clinicopathologically distinctive myofibroblastic neoplasm which may warrant reclassification in due course.

    Notes: Summary Background The recent report that mutations in ATP2A2, which encodes the Ca2+ transporting sarco/endo-plasmic reticulum pump type 2 isoforms (SERCA2), cause Darier's disease (DD) suggests that SERCA2 plays an important role in epidermal cell adhesion and differentiation. However, no data exist regarding SERCA2 expression in normal human skin, mucosa and DD. Objectives We have therefore investigated SERCA2 expression in normal human skin (40 samples), oral and vaginal mucosa (13 samples) and DD lesional skin (six samples). Materials and methods These investigations were performed with a mouse monoclonal antibody specific for human SERCA2, using a standard ABC immunoperoxidase technique. Results SERCA2 was expressed in all specimens. SERCA2 expression was pronounced in the subnuclear aspect of basal epidermal keratinocytes, with variable suprabasal expression. SERCA2 expression was also observed in the infundibulum and outer root sheath of hair follicles; germinative and mature cells of sebaceous glands; secretory coil and duct of eccrine glands; apocrine gland cells, and arrector pili muscle. Fibroblasts and blood vessels (endothelium and muscle) expressed SERCA2, whereas nerves did not. SERCA2 expression was observed throughout oral and vaginal mucosa. In DD skin, strong SERCA2 positivity was detected in the basal, suprabasal and acantholytic lesional cells. Perilesional DD skin was comparable to normal skin. Conclusions These findings support the hypothesis that SERCA2 is an important player in cutaneous biology, and provide baseline data that will facilitate the design and interpretation of functional studies of cutaneous SERCA2.
