Cutaneous Lymphoma Oncology

Cutaneous lymphoma is a type of cancer that begins in the skin's lymphocytes, which are part of the immune system. This condition falls under dermatologic oncology, the branch of medicine focused on skin-related cancers. Unlike more common skin cancers, cutaneous lymphoma can manifest as rashes, lumps, or patches on the skin, often requiring specialized treatment. Diagnosis typically involves skin biopsies and imaging studies. Treatments may include topical therapies, radiation, and systemic medication, depending on the severity and type of lymphoma. Understanding and managing this condition is crucial for maintaining skin health and overall well-being.
