Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a type of cancer that specifically affects the skin and originates from T-cells, a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response. In CTCL, these T-cells become abnormal and grow uncontrollably, leading to various skin symptoms such as rashes, plaques, or tumors. It commonly presents in stages, starting as patches on the skin and potentially progressing to more serious forms if untreated. While CTCL can be chronic and challenging to manage, there are various treatment options available, including topical therapies, phototherapy, and systemic medications.
