Cutaneous B-cell Lymphomas

Clinical features and history Cutaneous B-cell lymphomas usually present as one or more erythematous papules or nodules that may coalesce to form plaques. They are usually localized tumors effecting one cutaneous region and rarely ulcerate. There is some regional predilection for various sub-types of tumors; follicle center lymphoma more commonly arises on the scalp, marginal zone B-cell lympho...

Primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas.

Primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) encompass a clinically and biologically heterogeneous group of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) defined by clonal proliferation of skin-homing malignant T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. They account for up to 75% to 80% of all cutaneous lymphomas. The current WHO-EORTC classification of cutaneous lymphomas with primary cutaneous manifestations lists...

Primary cutaneous lymphomas.

Primary cutaneous lymphomas have a distinct clinical behavior and prognosis, and therefore require a different therapeutic approach, as compared with their primary nodal equivalents. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) classification for primary cutaneous lymphomas recognizes a limited number of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas and cutaneous B-cell lymphomas and is ...

Cutaneous primary B-cell lymphomas: from diagnosis to treatment*

Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of mature B-cells neoplasms with tropism for the skin, whose biology and clinical course differ significantly from the equivalent nodal lymphomas. The most indolent forms comprise the primary cutaneous marginal zone and follicle center B-cell lymphomas that despite the excellent prognosis have cutaneous recurrences very commonly. The ...
