Abstract

Cutaneous manifestation of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma can histologically and clinically manifest as Mycosis fungoides or Vasculitis. Histopathologic features of cutaneous lymphoma show dense tumor with a “bottom heavy” configuration. Tumor comprises either large lymphoid cells or sheets of monotonous small lymphoid cells with plasmacytoid configuration. A detailed work up is mandatory to conclude the diagnosis and provide definitive treatment in cutaneous lymphomas. In our case series, we present and describe 5 cases of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma with cutaneous manifestations. Two cases of Angioimmunoblastic T Cell Lymphoma with clinical and histological presentation as vasculitis, 2 cases of Mycosis fungoides concluded as Human T-cell Lymphotrophic Virus (HTLV) positive Adult T Cell Lymphomas on evaluation, 1 case which was lost to follow up are discussed. Thus, this case series emphasizes on the need to do complete work up of cutaneous lymphomas.
