The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome has recently been identified in Hodgkin's disease (HD) and nodal non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL). In order to elucidate the possible aetiopathogenetic role of EBV in benign and malignant lymphoproliferative disorders we investigated skin specimens from 24 patients w

โฆ Synopsis
Genomic DNA digests of skin biopsies from 20 patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphomas and pseudolymphomas were studied by hybridization, using probes for the constant region of the T-cell receptor beta chain and the joining region of the immunoglobin heavy chain gene. Skin biopsies from all 20 patients contained a monoclonal T-cell population. In addition, DNA from 5 patients contained an immunoglobulin gene rearrangement. These results demonstrate that cutaneous T-cell lymphomas are clonal T-cell malignancies that frequently express a dual genotype, which may sometimes reflect the clonotypic heterogeneity of these disorders.
