Resumen
JUAREZ-VILLEGAS, Luis E. et al. A case series of cutaneous lymphomas in Mexico. Bol. Med. Hosp. Infant. Mex. [online]. 2020, vol.77, n.2, pp.90-93. Epub 25-Sep-2020. ISSN 1665-1146. https://doi.org/10.24875/bmhim.19000126.
Background:
Primary cutaneous lymphomas are a rare heterogeneous group of T and B cell skin neoplasms without any evidence of extracutaneous disease at the time of diagnosis, which show considerable differences in histology, phenotype and prognosis.
Case reports:
Five cases of cutaneous lymphomas treated at the Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez from 2010 to 2018 are described. The most frequent clinical presentations in these patients were dermatitis, blood scabs, and necrotic ulcers. The most common immunophenotype was non-Hodgkin T/NK primary nasal extranodal cutaneous lymphomas. The treatment scheme used in most patients was SMILE. The average time to diagnosis was 7 months.
Conclusions:
The prognosis depends on the stage of the disease at diagnosis, the degree of skin involvement, and the presence of extracutaneous disease. As primary cutaneous lymphomas are infrequent neoplasms, the stage of the disease is usually advanced and generally shows an aggressive behavior due to a late diagnosis.
