Cutaneous Lymphoma

	Cutaneous Lymphoma Cutaneous lymphoma, also known as lymphoma cutis, is when lymphoma involves the skin. It is characterized by a proliferation of lymphoid tissue. There are two main classes of lymphomas that affect the skin: * Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma * Cutaneous B-cell lymphoma References {{reflist Lymphoid-related cutaneous conditions Lymphoma ...

picture info	Lymphoma Lymphoma is a group of blood and lymph tumors that develop from lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). In current usage the name usually refers to just the cancerous versions rather than all such tumours. Signs and symptoms may include enlarged lymph nodes, fever, drenching sweats, unintended weight loss, itching, and constantly feeling tired. The enlarged lymph nodes are usually painless. The sweats are most common at night. Many subtypes of lymphomas are known. The two main categories of lymphomas are the non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) (90% of cases) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) (10%). The World Health Organization (WHO) includes two other categories as types of lymphoma – multiple myeloma and immunoproliferative diseases. Lymphomas and leukemias are a part of the broader group of tumors of the hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues. Risk factors for Hodgkin lymphoma include infection with Epstein–Barr virus and a history of the disease in the family. Risk factors for common ...

picture info	Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a class of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which is a type of cancer of the immune system. Unlike most non-Hodgkin lymphomas (which are generally B-cell-related), CTCL is caused by a mutation of T cells. The cancerous T cells in the body initially migrate to the skin, causing various lesions to appear. These lesions change shape as the disease progresses, typically beginning as what appears to be a rash which can be very itchy and eventually forming plaques and tumors before spreading to other parts of the body. Signs and symptoms The presentation depends if it is mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome, the most common, though not the only types. Among the symptoms for the aforementioned types are: enlarged lymph nodes, an enlarged liver and spleen, and non-specific dermatitis. Cause The cause of CTCL is unknown. Diagnosis A point-based algorithm for the diagnosis for early forms of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma was proposed by the International Socie ...

	Cutaneous B-cell Lymphoma Cutaneous B-cell lymphomas constitute a group of diseases that occur less commonly than cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and are characterized histologically by B-cells that appear similar to those normally found in germinal centers of lymph nodes. Conditions included in this group are: :* Primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type :* Primary cutaneous follicular lymphoma :* Primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma :* Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma :* Plasmacytoma :* Plasmacytosis See also * Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma * List of cutaneous conditions References External links Lymphoid-related cutaneous conditions Lymphoma {{Cutaneous-condition-stub ...
