RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Primary cutaneous T cell lymphomas (CTCL) are a heterogenous group of non-Hodgkin lymphomas derived from skin-homing T cells. These include mycosis fungoides and its leukemic variant Sezary syndrome, as well as the CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorders. AREAS COVERED: In this review, we provide a summary of the current literature on CTCL, with a focus on the immunopathogenesis and treatment of mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome. EXPERT OPINION: Recent advances in immunology have provided new insights into the biology of malignant T cells. This in turn has led to the development of new therapies that modulate the immune system to facilitate tumor clearance or target specific aspects of tumor biology.
