Histologic features of XXXX seen in association with @entity3217 fungoides.

@entity1 @entity3217 @entity5 @entity75 @entity8205 @entity7174 @entity320
BACKGROUND: Many different @entity5 have been reported to occur simultaneously as collision lesions. To date, no such events have been reported between @entity3217 fungoides (MFs) and @entity5 . METHODS: Two cases are presented in which patches of MF were superimposed on @entity8205 . In addition, 967 biopsies of MF from 411 @entity1 were identified in an 8-year retrospective database search. @entity1 pathology history summaries were reviewed to identify inflamed nevi, @entity7174 , and @entity320 submitted for histologic evaluation from this population. RESULTS: The occurrence of MF in a @entity7174 was associated with a halo phenomenon restricted to the affected region of the @entity7174 in one @entity1 . In the other @entity1 , nests of two morphologies (lymphocytic and melanocytic) in the same biopsy presented a potentially confusing histologic picture. No other cases of MF superimposed on a @entity7174 were identified in 967 biopsies from 411 @entity1 with a histological diagnosis of MF seen over the past 8 years. In this population, 57 biopsies of @entity75 were identified from 28 @entity1 , including three @entity7174 and three @entity320 . CONCLUSIONS: The presence of MF superimposed on a @entity7174 is rare and may lead to confounding histologic features or the development of a halo @entity7174 phenomenon.
