This editorial review summarizes the results of 5 meetings sponsored by the International
Society for Cutaneous Lymphoma at which the clinicopathologic and ancillary features of …

Mycosis fungoides (MF), the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, generally
has a favorable clinical course. Early MF typically presents erythematous patches and/or …

The histologic diagnosis of early mycosis fungoides (MF) is one of the most vexing problems
in dermatopathology. We reviewed the histopathologic features of 745 biopsy specimens …

Background: The histological diagnosis of early lesions of mycosis fungoides (MF) is often
difficult for dermatopathologists and prior studies have shown a low agreement rate among …

Background The influence of phenotype and detection of clonality on prognosis in early
mycosis fungoides has never been addressed in large studies. Objectives To correlate …

T cell receptor gene analysis is a sensitive method for assessment of peripheral blood
involvement in mycosis fungoides. This study uses polymerase chain reaction/single-strand …

Background A dominant T‐cell clone can be detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
in 40–90% of cutaneous samples from patients with cutaneous T‐cell lymphoma (CTCL) …

The distinction between benign polyclonal and malignant monoclonal lymphoid disorders by
morphology or immunophenotyping is frequently difficult. Therefore, the demonstration of …

Gamma/delta T cell lymphomas (γ/δ TCL) represent rare, often aggressive types of T cell
malignancy that are clinically and pathologically diverse. Most γ/δ TCL occur as a …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Molecular clonality analysis of immunoglobulin (Ig) and
T-cell receptor (TCR) genes is a widely used diagnostic tool for discrimination between …
