Pediatric Cutaneous Lymphomas

Pediatric cutaneous lymphomas are rare types of cancers that affect the skin in children. They arise from white blood cells called lymphocytes, which are part of the immune system. These lymphomas can appear as rashes or lumps on the skin and may vary in severity. The most common types include cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and B-cell lymphoma, both of which can have distinct symptoms and treatment approaches. Early diagnosis and treatment are important, and management may involve medications, therapies, or in some cases, radiation. Overall, while serious, many children respond well to treatment.
