Granulomatous slack skin disease--disease features and response to pentostatin. British journal of haematology, 2003, Volume: 123, Issue:2 Granulomatous slack skin disease (GSSD) is a rare condition characterized clinically by redundant skin folds, which show a predilection towards flexural areas, and histologically by a granulomatous T-cell infiltrate and loss of elastic fibres. The disease is often indolent, although rapid progression and transformation have been described. There is much debate as to whether this condition is a subset of mycosis fungoides or a separate disease entity in itself. We describe a case of GSSD with unique manifestations including granulomatous bone marrow involvement and hypercalcaemia.

Granulomatous slack skin disease--disease features and response to pentostatin.

Granulomatous slack skin disease (GSSD) is a rare condition characterized clinically by redundant skin folds, which show a predilection towards flexural areas, and histologically by a granulomatous T-cell infiltrate and loss of elastic fibres. The disease is often indolent, although rapid progression and transformation have been described. There is much debate as to whether this condition is a subset of mycosis fungoides or a separate disease entity in itself. We describe a case of GSSD with unique manifestations including granulomatous bone marrow involvement and hypercalcaemia. The patient has twice achieved a good response to pentostatin after failure of combination chemotherapy. This is the first report of the successful use of the purine analogue pentostatin in the management of GSSD.
