Abstract

Primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCL) encompass primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (PCBCL) and primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (PCTCL). PCL is a heterogeneous group of disorders classified by the WHO-EORTC, and the treatment varies by subtype. General principles regarding work-up and management paradigms are discussed for a subset of these diseases.
