Abstract:
Primary cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders are a group of heterogeneous diseases that mainly involve the skin and are completely different from lymph node lymphomas. Although rare, they are still an important part of lymphoid and hematopoietic tumors. In the 2017 World Health Organization (WHO) classification for tumors of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues and the 2018 updated version of WHO-European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) classification for cutaneous lymphomas, classifications of most diseases do not change, but the understanding of some diseases such as Epstein-Barr virus-associated lymphoproliferative diseases and primary cutaneous CD4 positive small/medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder has been changed, and new diseases have been added. This article introduces updates on the classification of primary cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders based on the 2017 WHO and 2018 WHO-EORTC classification systems.
