Cutaneous Lymphomas and Lymphocytic infilterates: A Clinicopathological correlation and therapeutic options.
J Pak Assoc Derma Jan ;13(1):29-34.

The lymphoid cells are classified on the basis of clinical, pathological, immunopathological, molecular biological and cytogenetic findings. The great majority of lymphoid infiltrates associated with the skin are of T-cell type known as cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL). The cutaneous lymphoid infiltrates composed of B-cell type, are referred to as cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (CBCL). These are about one-third as common as primary CTCLs, and the majority of these B-cell lymphomas carry a relatively good prognosis. There is a range of benign cutaneous lymphocytic infiltrates which do not have a clear cut prognosis. These conditions include Jessner`s lymphocytic infiltrate, lymphocytoma cutis and pseudolymphomas. These infiltrates are important in the differential diagnosis of primary cutaneous lymphomas of either B- or T-cell type. The present article attempts to provide an insight into the clinicopathological correlation and therapeutic options of these different subsets of cutaneous lymphomas and lymphcytic infiltrates in a simplified and tabulated version.
