Description

Between January 1995 and December 2008, 133 new patients with cutaneous lymphomas were seen at the dermatology clinic of Okayama University Hospital. All of the patients were re-classified according to the revised WHO classification. The incidence rates were analyzed and the chances of survival were estimated. Of 133, 106 (79.7%) had primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCLs).<br>Compared with several reports from western countries, “mature T-cell and NK-cell neoplasms” were frequent in this study (87% vs. 77 or 72%). The 106 PCLs consisted of 56 (52.8%) with mycosis fungoides/Sezary syndrome (MF/SS), similar to rates in western countries. Six (5.7%) with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) were observed, rarely reported from western countries. No primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (pcFCL) was observed during this period.<br>The estimated survival of patients with MF was favorable (5-year disease specific survival rate : 5-y DSS 90.6%), but that of the patients with primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (C-ALCL) was extremely less favorable than previously reported (5-yDSS 47.4%).[Skin Cancer (Japan) 2011 ; 26 : 191-196]
