Overview

The most common symptoms of cutaneous T cell lymphoma include fever, weight loss, skin rash, night sweats, itching, chest pain, abdominal pain, and bone pain.[1]

History and Symptoms

History

  • The majority of patients with mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome are present with:[2]
    • Skin patches and plaques
    • Skin erythema with or without exfoliation
      • Erythroderma observed patchy or diffuse[3]
      • Erythroderma observed with cracking or fissuring of the palms and soles.[3]
    • Eczema
    • Psoriasis
    • Other benign skin disorders
  • Patients with advanced disease may have a positive history of with cutaneous tumors or nodules or diffuse skin erythema with or without exfoliation.
  • Skin lesions in the disease obserevedc in non–sunexposed areas (bathing trunk distribution) and lesions may be hyperpigmented or hypopigmented, or may ulcerate.
  • Tumors
    • > 1 cm in size (depth or vertical growth)

Diagnosis criteria from the International Society for Cutaneous Lymphoma is:[2][4]

Criteria Major( 2pinots) Minor(1point)
Persistent and/or progressive patches and plaques plus Any 2 Any 1
1. Non–sun-exposed location
2.Size/shape variation
3.Poikiloderma
Histopathologic
Superficial lymphoid infiltrate plus Both Either
1. Epidermotropism
Molecular/biological
2. Atypia
Clonal TCR gene rearrangement Present
Immunopathologic
1. CD2, CD3, CD5 in <59% of T cells Any 1
2. CD7 in <10% of T cells
3. Epidermal discordance from expression of CD2, CD3, CD5, and CD7 on dermal T cells
