Fig 1 A, Histopathologic findings of ulcerative forearm lesion: necrosis and infiltration of lymphoid cells in subcutaneous tissue. Infiltrates consist of many lymphoid cells and a few atypical cells. B, Immunostaining of ulcerative lesion for CD56.

Fig 2 Clonal analyses for EBV DNA containing terminal repeats. Single band showing clonal proliferation of EBV-infected cells is observed at 8.0 kb in lane 3 (cutaneous lesion [forearm]) and lane 4 (NOY-2 cell) and at 20 kb in lane 5 (NOY-1 cell). No clonal band is detected lane 6 (bone marrow) and in lane 7 (peripheral blood mononuclear cells). Lane 1, Positive control (B95.8); lane 2, negative control; M, size marker.
