Malignant centrofacial granuloma (MCFG) is a clinical entity characterized by a relentless ulceration of the upper airway involving the nose, palate, and face, without any demonstrable etiology. The origin of 11 cases were analyzed with the help of cell-surface immunostaining in all and with T-cell receptor gene (TCR) rearrangement in 3. The results show that most of the cases of MCFG are in fact T-cell lymphomas with cell-surface antigens (CD2, CD7, CD3) consistent with either early or mature T lymphocytes. However, some cases exhibit B-lymphoid (CD19, CD20) or histiomonocytic (CD13, CD14) lineage-specific markers. In conclusion, despite its remarkable clinical unity, MCFG is a heterogeneous group of neoplastic diseases, most but not all of which may be classified as T-cell lymphoma.
恶性面中部肉芽肿(MCFG)是一种临床病症,其特征为上呼吸道包括鼻、腭和面部出现持续性溃疡,且无任何可证实的病因。对11例病例的起源进行了分析,全部病例均借助细胞表面免疫染色进行分析,3例还进行了T细胞受体基因(TCR)重排分析。结果显示,大多数MCFG病例实际上是T细胞淋巴瘤,其细胞表面抗原(CD2、CD7、CD3)与早期或成熟T淋巴细胞一致。然而,一些病例表现出B淋巴细胞(CD19、CD20)或组织细胞单核细胞(CD13、CD14)谱系特异性标志物。总之,尽管MCFG在临床上具有显著的一致性,但它是一组异质性肿瘤疾病,其中大多数(但并非全部)可归类为T细胞淋巴瘤。
