Cutaneous T cell lymphoma skin manifestations[2]
Name Description
Premycotic (pretumor) phase
  • Small, scaly, red rashes or patches on the skin
  • Rashes can appear anywhere on the body, in areas that are not exposed to the sun
  • Does not cause symptoms and may last for months or years
Patch phase
  • Flat, thin, red patches or eczema-like rash on the skin
Plaque phase
  • Raised red patches (plaques) on the skin
Tumor phase
  • Lumps or nodules (tumours) on the skin
  • Tumors can cause open areas (ulcers), which can become infected
