Our Cutaneous Lymphoma Program provides specialized care for multiple rare types of cancer that begin in the blood cells of the immune system and attack the skin. These blood cells are also known as lymphocytes. Cutaneous lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The 3 main types are:

  • B-cell cutaneous lymphoma
  • T-cell cutaneous lymphoma
  • Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm
