Primary cutaneous lymphomas: basic classification and characteristics
- Fakultní nemocnice u sv. Anny v Brně a LF MU Brno
Cutaneous T-, NK- and B-cell lymphomas are primary cutaneous non-Hodgkin lymphomas. It is a group of heterogeneous diseases; therefore,
the classification of this group of skin diseases is crucial in diagnosing and, subsequently, treating them. The first comprehensive classification
system was developed in a collaborative effort between the WHO (World Health Organization) and the EORTC (European Organisation
for Research and Treatment of Cancer) in the year 2005. The article is focused on the classification of cutaneous lymphomas and is the first
in a series of articles dealing with this issue. The individual diagnoses will be described in more detail in the next parts of this series.
