Cutaneous lymphomas: which pathological classification?

Pathology
H M PrinceChris Baker

Abstract

Cutaneous lymphomas are rare and although some are a manifestation of systemic lymphoma, the majority arise primarily from the skin. These primary cutaneous lymphomas comprise predominantly T cell subtypes and represent a wide spectrum of disorders. Pathologists can currently choose to label these conditions according to three classifications (REAL, EORTC or WHO) but each has shortcomings. Nonetheless, in an attempt to unify the field, we would recommend that pathologists make every attempt to categorise these conditions according to the WHO classification. This classification can encompass all the conditions and aligns the cutaneous lymphomas with the broader systemic lymphoproliferative conditions.
