83 yrs lady with "cutaneous AILT" diagnosed twice in general oncology dept with possibly "surgical way of thinking" (2007 "Ca cutis reg. cruris"-2013 "fibroma reg. cruris"). Local radiation after each episode (wise?) without haematological evaluation (BM absent) and chemo.  
2014: reexcision.  
MACRO: 6,5x3,5x0,5 cm skin piece with irregular induration 4,3x3 cm.  
HISTO: Vaguelly nodular, vascularised, effected by fibrosis (postradio-?) heterogenous infiltrate, enreached by atypical spindle and "histyoid" cells and scant T CD4+ lymphos admiture.  
IH:  
MOLECS:  
2014: B/T polyclonal.  
2007: pending.  
 
Question: definite classification of cutanous elderly LPD vs mesenchymal lesion? Other? (?)(AILT is not there...).

Dear Ugnius,  
can you tell us the exact skin region where the biopsy was taken from?  
Did the lesions in 2013 and 2014 re-occurr at the same location as that in 2007?

Presumably the same (lower leg)...

I do not think that this is a hemato-lymphoid malignancy. I suppose that we have to reconsider the older diagnoses and exclude/verify fibroblastic/myofibroblastic and fibro-histocytic tumors: CD34? CD99? pSTAT6? EMA? Cytokeratin? probably on the pre-irradiation tissue from 2007...
