Abstract
A 70-year-old man's chronic erythematous skin lesion in the extremity had developed into a tumour one year before his first visit at our hospital. A biopsy showed atypical lymphocyte-like cells, and immunostaining identified atypical cells as CD3+, CD4+, CD5+ and FOXP3+. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis using BD Rhapsody revealed the higher expression of CD3, CD4, CD5 and FOXP3 genes in a group of cells that highly expressed genes, such as PCNA, in the S/M phase, which is in agreement with immunofluorescence staining results. The use of scRNA-seq analysis data is expected to promote personalised medicine for cutaneous lymphoma.
