“…Some studies reported that these factors were strongly associated with the prognosis of MF, while others reported a limited relationship. Some studies that investigated the superiority of each of these parameters revealed different results [ 7 , 9 – 11 ].…”

“…Palpation of the liver, spleen, and an assessment of B symptoms (night sweats, fever, weight loss) are also required. Both ESR and CRP should be measured, because elevated values are associated with a poorer prognosis [4]. In addition, a blood count with differential should be obtained, and liver enzymes, creatinine, LDH, and electrolyte levels should be measured.…”

Primary cutaneous lymphomas are extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas. They are classified into the two main groups of primary cutaneous T- and B-cell lymphomas. Very rare cases are derived from NK or plasmacytoid dendritic cells. The annual incidence is 1/100,000. Two-thirds of the patients have primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and the remaining one-third have primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma. Over the years, tremendous progress has been made regarding the diagnostics and classification of cutaneous lymphomas. An exact classification of cutaneous lymphomas is of great importance for the patient, because the different skin lymphomas have very different prognoses and require different therapeutic regimens. The basis for making a diagnosis is a clinical-pathological correlation, including the use of several immunohistochemical markers and molecular biological methods. Treatment of cutaneous lymphoma is adapted to the type of lymphoma and disease stage. First-line therapy consists of treatments that target the skin. Systemic treatment is used in advanced disease. Many targeted therapies have been introduced into routine clinical care in recent years. This review presents an up-to-date approach to the diagnosis and treatment of primary cutaneous lymphomas.

“…28 The obvious correlation between ESR results and inflammation/infection has brought forth studies of diagnostic and predictive value of the test in conditions such as giant cell arteritis, 29 diabetic osteomyelitis, 30 and mycosis fungoides. 31 Another interesting application of the ESR is in providing the patient and/or practitioner reassurance in cases of 'no pathology'. 32 Current Case Applications The current case study provides an excellent opportunity to dissect the value of the ESR in a real-life clinical scenario.…”

The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) is a laboratory test of historical significance and broad applicability. Its current role in medical diagnostics, however, is often debated due to a lack of specificity in the results and the emergence of more up-to-date alternatives. This case study, however, illustrates a clinical scenario where the ESR was utilized on more than one occasion to significantly aid the diagnostic process and ultimately, improve patient care.
