Summary:The ultrastructure of interdigitating dendritic cells in dermatopathic lymphadenopathy from patients with mycosis fungoides was investigated. The most remarkable findings were: a marked hypertrophy of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum with a peculiar concentric arrangements of the cisternae around lipid droplets, an abundance of cytoplasmic lipid droplets and the presence of paranuclear chromatoid-like bodies. It is suggested that these ultrastructural features may correspond to some unknown functional capability of the interdigitating dendritic cell.
