Figure

  • Fig. 1 (A) Histopathologic findings show pseudopautrier abscess (PPA, arrow) with focal spongiosis and spongiotic vesicles (H&E, ×100). (B~D) CD1a (B) as well as CD68 (D) is expressed on most cells within PPA (arrow), but negative for CD3 (C). (E) Stellate keratinocytes (arrow) positive for high molecular weight cytokeratin (HMWCK).

  • Fig. 2 (A) Histopathologic findings display Pautrier's microabscess (PA, arrow) (H&E, ×100). (B~E) Most cells within the PA (arrow) are positive for CD3, but negative for CD1a, CD68, and high molecular weight cytokeratin.
