Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Primary cutaneous lymphomas are lymphoproliferative skin infiltrates of T-, B- or NK-cells, classified according to the World Health Organization - European Organization of the Research and Treatment of Cancer (WHO-EORTC) criteria. They are the second most common group of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas, that present in the skin with no evidence of systemic involvement at the time of diagnosis.
AIMS: The aim of the study was the analysis of clinical profile of cutaneous lymphomas in the tertiary referral center in Poland.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: We analyzed case records of 63 patients (26 women, 37 men aged 19 - 86) referred to the Department of Dermatology, University Hospital in Cracow for the diagnosis and treatment of cutaneous lymphoma.
RESULTS: After analysis of clinical and histological data, the final diagnoses were: mycosis fungoides (42 patients), primary cutaneous CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorder (7), Sezary syndrome (3), parapsoriasis (3), primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (1), acute myeloid leukemia (1), Hodgkin lymphoma coexistent with mycosis fungoides (1), generalized allergic contact dermatitis (2) and erythema elevatum diutinum (1). We excluded 2 patients due to incomplete data. The most common location of skin lesions was the lower limb (52.46%) and most common clinical presentation was raised erythematous lesion (26.23%). Pruritus was present in 45.9% of the patients and 39.3% had extracutaneous symptoms, with lymphadenopathy as the most common symptom. 37.7% of patients presented with mild eosinophilia and another 37.7% with mild monocytosis. Prior to referral to our center, general practitioners misdiagnosed the lymphomas commonly as: atopic and contact dermatitis, borreliosis, drug-induced exanthema.
CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis of cutaneous lymphoma is often delayed due to their indolent, often recurring course, non-specific symptoms and uncommon appearance. The cooperation of a clinician and pathologist is essential in the diagnostic process.
