Cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders after COVID-19 vaccination : clinical presentation, histopathology, and outcomes

Individual reports described lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs) after COVID-19 vaccination; however, the relationship between cases is unexamined. We aim to determine if there are cases of cutaneous LPDs associated with COVID-19 vaccination and their outcomes. We present a review of world literature, vaccine registries, and two unreported cases of LPDs after COVID-19 vaccination. Review of the medical literature, VAERS, and our two cases reveal predominance of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, younger patients, and males. All cases resulted in favorable outcomes. Approximately 84% of cases demonstrated CD30+ positivity in their skin biopsies, suggesting that an antigenic trigger may lead to a type IV adaptive immune response, with clonal expansion of CD30+ T-cells and subsequent oncogenic mutational hits eventuating in transient LPDs. LPDs after COVID-19 vaccination appear in the context of the same vaccines (proportionally to their global market shares), share clinical and pathological findings, and have indolent, self-limited character.
