Primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCL) are non-Hodgkin lymphomas, presenting in the skin. They are classified into cutaneous B-cell (CBCL), or cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL), the latter being the most common. The most common CTCL subtypes are mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS).1 All cases should be discussed at a specialist multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting.2 This report is the first published review of PCL MDT case discussion in the UK. Cases from the supra-regional specialist cutaneous lymphoma MDT in Glasgow, between 2008 and 2019, were reviewed. Our objectives were: assess frequency of PCL subtype; review documentation of CTCL staging; review management of MF/SS. Of 356 cases, 103 (29%) were CBCL. The majority (n=200, 56%) were CTCL. MF/SS was the final diagnosis in 120 (34%). Staging was documented in 44% (n=53) MF/SS cases. Management largely followed guidelines, topical corticosteroids (TCS) were the most common treatment (n=93, 87%) (Figure 1).2 Frequency of PCL subtype is largely comparable to previously published data (Table 1). Documentation of CTCL staging is low, but higher than other reports.3 Our work begins to address the gap in real-world data on CTCL. Going forward, a standardised approach to data collection would inform clinical practice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
