Epstein-Barr virus is known to be associated with the development of lymphomas in immunosuppressed patients. Recently, age-related immune impairment was recognized as a predisposing factor in the development of Epstein-Barr virus-driven lymphoproliferative processes in elderly patients. We describe the case of an otherwise healthy 84-year-old lady who developed a solitary primary cutaneous diffuse B-cell lymphoma on her leg in which the majority of the malignant cells had Epstein barr early RNA (EBER) and late membrane protein-1 expression, with in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry, respectively.
已知爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒与免疫抑制患者淋巴瘤的发生有关。最近,年龄相关的免疫损害被认为是老年患者发生爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒驱动的淋巴增殖性病变的一个易感因素。我们描述了一例84岁健康女性的病例,她的腿部出现了一个孤立的原发性皮肤弥漫性B细胞淋巴瘤,通过原位杂交和免疫组化分别检测到大多数恶性细胞有爱泼斯坦-巴尔早期RNA(EBER)和晚期膜蛋白-1表达。
