Cutaneous Lymphomas and Lymphocytic Infiltrates

Abstract

The chapter provides a review of primary cutaneous malignant lymphoid infiltrates. The first portion of the chapter addresses the T cell lymphomas, beginning with mycosis fungoides and its myriad variants. More esoteric and less common forms of T cell lymphoma follow. The chapter then moves on to malignant B cell infiltrates, which much less frequently affect the skin. Secondary involvement of the skin by systemic lymphoma is not covered in this chapter.
