Atrophoderma of Pasini and Pierini. An immunopathologic case study.
American Journal of Clinical Pathology 1992 January
Atrophoderma of Pasini and Pierini (APP) is a rare and distinctive form of dermal atrophy of uncertain origin. In only one previous report have immunopathologic methods been used to study a case of atrophoderma of Pasini and Pierini, and on the basis of the results obtained it was concluded that immunologic mechanisms were relevant to the pathogenesis of the condition. A detailed investigation of a case of atrophoderma of Pasini and Pierini was conducted using immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase techniques. The epidermal Langerhans cells were abundant and expressed polyclonal immunoglobulin M on the cell-surface membrane. Biopsy of the same lesion was repeated 6 months later and revealed staining for immunoglobulins A and M and also for C3. This pattern of staining could not be reproduced in a range of other atrophic or scarring cutaneous lesions. Immunophenotypic analysis of the mild perivascular mononuclear cell infiltrate revealed an aberrant T-cell phenotype of uncertain significance.
