Skin Lymphoma
Skin lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that primarily manifests in the skin.
It can originate from T-cells or B-cells and may present as patches, plaques, or nodules. Patients may experience itching, redness, scaling, or ulceration. Early detection and staging are vital for selecting the appropriate therapy, which can range from topical treatments to systemic therapies in advanced cases.
Causes and Risk Factors of Skin Lymphoma
While the exact cause remains unknown, multiple factors contribute to its development.
- Abnormal lymphocyte proliferation: Mutations in T-cells or B-cells trigger uncontrolled growth in the skin
- Immune suppression or autoimmune disorders increase susceptibility
- Environmental exposures: Long-term exposure to certain chemicals or toxins may elevate risk
Symptoms and Clinical Presentation of Skin Lymphoma
Symptoms vary depending on subtype and stage.
- Persistent skin patches, plaques, or nodules
- Itching, redness, scaling, or thickened skin
- Ulceration or open sores: Occasionally seen in more advanced lesions
Treatment Approaches for Skin Lymphoma
Treatment is customized based on stage and subtype of lymphoma.
- Phototherapy: Controlled UV light exposure to reduce lesions
- Topical corticosteroids or topical chemotherapy agents
- Radiotherapy: Targeted radiation for localized lesions
- Systemic chemotherapy or immunotherapy for advanced disease
