Cutaneous lymphoma, also known as lymphoma cutis, is when lymphoma involves the skin. [1] It is characterized by a proliferation of lymphoid tissue. [2] There are two main classes of lymphomas that affect the skin: [citation needed] Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma; Cutaneous B-cell lymphoma
The use of rituximab has been established for the treatment of B-cell–derived hematologic malignancies, including follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). [ 7 ] In addition to cure-directed treatment, people can benefit from self-care to manage symptoms.
Examples of such signs and symptoms include splenomegaly, abdominal pain and skin rash. Other common symptoms are fever, night sweat and unexplained weight loss. [2] These symptoms are collectively called B symptoms. Mature T-cell lymphoma is fast-growing and patients are usually diagnosed at later stage.
The mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), also called mucosa-associated lymphatic tissue, is a diffuse system of small concentrations of lymphoid tissue found in various submucosal membrane sites of the body, such as the gastrointestinal tract, nasopharynx, thyroid, breast, lung, salivary glands, eye, and skin.
Research from Sweden has found a link between getting a tattoo of any size and an overall 21% higher risk of developing lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. Tattoos may increase blood cancer risk by ...
A diagram portraying an allogenic stem cell transplant. Treatment for T-cell lymphoma varies widely due to the large variability in the subtypes. Due to the lack of research performed in understanding the nature of T-cell lymphoma pathogenesis, a majority of cases will often have poor outcomes for the treatment or will relapse. [3]
