Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma
📋Overview
Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma develops when T-lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that usually assists the immune system, undergo malignant changes and accumulate in the skin. These abnormal cells can cause various skin-related symptoms, differentiating this group of cancers from other types of lymphomas that primarily involve the lymph nodes or internal organs.
This condition serves as a broad classification for several subtypes, most notably mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome. While these conditions may present with different clinical features, they are unified by the presence of cancerous T-cells in the skin and are classified under this modern medical designation.
