Distinguishing benign cutaneous lymphoid infiltrates from malignant cutaneous lymphomas
Kumaran Muthu Mudaliar
Loyola University Chicago, USA
A
ssessment of dense lymphoid cutaneous proliferations is often challenging. It can be difficult to distinguish benign
cutaneous lymphoid infiltrates from malignant lymphomas and at times, definite classification as either benign or
malignant cannot be reached. One of the challenges lays in needing to have a solid understanding of what constitutes normal
benign finding and separating these from malignant pathologic change. Also, in order to exclude malignant lymphomas, a
working knowledge of all cutaneous lymphomas is required. In addition, apart from considering the clinical history and the
histologic findings, an ability to interpret potential immune-histochemical and gene re-arrangement studies is necessary. This
lecture serves as an introduction to cutaneous lymphoid proliferations and will serve to provide an algorithmic approach to
assessing such proliferations that will be useful for general pathologists, dermatopathologists and hematopathologists.
