Haematolymphoid Tumours (5th ed.)

(General Instructions – The main focus of these pages is the clinically significant genetic alterations in each disease type. Use HUGO-approved gene names and symbols (italicized when appropriate), HGVS-based nomenclature for variants, as well as generic names of drugs and testing platforms or assays if applicable. Please complete tables whenever possible and do not delete them (add N/A if not applicable in the table and delete the examples); to add (or move) a row or column to a table, click nearby within the table and select the > symbol that appears to be given options. Please do not delete or alter the section headings. The use of bullet points alongside short blocks of text rather than only large paragraphs is encouraged. Additional instructions below in italicized blue text should not be included in the final page content. Please also see Author_Instructions and FAQs as well as contact your Associate Editor or Technical Support)

Definition / Description of Disease

An indolent primary cutaneous peripheral CD4+ T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder for which conservative treatment such as excision and local radiation therapy is known to be effective.

They express at least one follicular T-helper (TFH) marker, except for CD10.

The differential diagnosis includes[1][2]

  • other cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs)
  • marginal zone lymphoma
  • reactive benign cutaneous lymphoid proliferation


Put your text here (Instructions: Brief description of approximately one paragraph - include disease context relative to other WHO classification categories, diagnostic criteria if applicable, and differential diagnosis if applicable. Other classifications can be referenced for comparison.)

Synonyms / Terminology

Primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium T-cell lymphoma (not preferred due to indolent clinical course)[3]

Epidemiology / Prevalence

Previously considered an uncommon disease but may be underestimated.

Comprising up to 6% of CTCLs. [4]

One study reported local prevalence of 12.5% of all CTCLs, making it the second most common cutaneous lymphoma following mycosis fungoides.[1]

Morphologic Features

  • Dense dermal lymphoid infiltrate, often with nodular or diffuse pattern[5][6]
  • Tends to extend to superficial subcutaneous tissue[6][5]
  • Lack significant epidermotropism and folliculotropism[6]
  • Predominantly small/medium-size T-cells with mild-moderate cytological atypia[6][5][1][3]
  • Low number of large lymphocytes allowed (<30%)[3][5][6]
  • Can have mixed background containing CD8+ T-cells, B-cells, plasma cells, histiocytes, +/-multinucleated giant cells or granulomatous change[6][5]
  • Absent/few eosinophils[6]
  • Low proliferation rate; Ki67 <20%[1][3]
  • By definitive, excludes cases that meet the diagnostic criteria for mycosis fungoides[3]
