Table 2. Examples of T-cell neoplasm-associated possible spontaneous (idiopathic) cutaneous tumor lysis syndrome.

CPTCL-CP, cutaneous peripheral T-cell lymphoma of cytotoxic phenotype; ENK/TCL, extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma; Ref, reference; yo, year old

Patients Tumor Comments Ref
14 of 50 patients Mycosis fungoides In a study of 50 patients with primary and recurrent mycosis fungoides, 14 had either erythroderma and/or ulcerated lesions, on initial presentation; some of the patients with ulcerated lesions might be compatible with spontaneous (idiopathic) cutaneous tumor lysis syndrome [27]
65 yo man Mycosis fungoides Necrotizing mycosis fungoides in a therapy-naive man may also represent spontaneous (idiopathic) cutaneous lysis syndrome [28]
51 yo man ENK/TCL, nasal type ENK/TCL, nasal type presented in a previously healthy man with possible spontaneous (idiopathic) cutaneous tumor lysis syndrome as painless, ulcerated cutaneous lesions over his trunk and limbs [29]
55 yo man CPTCL-CP CPTCL-CP presented with possible spontaneous (idiopathic) cutaneous tumor lysis syndrome-type characteristics as an ulcerated 5-cm cutaneous plaque on a man’s left ankle. During the subsequent month, nine additional, similar appearing, ulcerated plaques developed on his trunk and bilateral extremities [30]
