Papular mycosis fungoides: Six new cases and association with chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Figure 7 Skin specimen from patient 2 shows a perivascular and dense nodular infiltrate in the superficial and mid-dermis. A fibrotic papillary dermis and scattered epidermotropic lymphocytes aligned along the basal layer in the absence of spongiosis (H and E, × 400). The dermal infiltrate is composed of lymphocytes, some with large hyperchromatic cerebriform nuclei, large immunoblast-like cells (top insert), small clusters of plasma cells (bottom insert), and occasional eosinophils.
