When a rash caused by skin lymphoma also referred to as cutaneous lymphoma is in its early stages, it often presents as small patches of dry, red skin on the torso, buttocks or another area of the body. At this stage, the rash often resembles dermatitis, eczema or psoriasis. Certain areas of skin may also thicken, harden and form plaques that itch and ulcerate. Typically, these plaques develop on the face or buttocks or within skin folds.

As a skin lymphoma rash progresses, papules small bumps may start to appear. We take a multispecialty approach to cancer care, and our renowned Malignant Hematology Program includes board-certified surgeons and physicians, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, nurses, researchers and supportive care specialists who work closely together on behalf of our patients.

Each week, our tumor board of cancer specialists meets to review complex cases and make any necessary treatment adjustments. Thanks to our collaborative approach, our patients receive the benefit of multiple expert opinions without the need for referrals. To request an appointment at Moffitt Cancer Center, call us at or fill out our new patient registration form online. Something that sets us apart from other cancer treatment providers is our exceptionally quick turnaround time—we connect each new patient with a cancer expert within just one day, which is faster than any other cancer hospital across the nation.

Please call for support from a Moffitt representative. Because of multiple painless swelling of the neck lymph nodes for the last 3 weeks, her family doctor suspected malignant lymphoma. She presented generalized eczema with severe itching Fig. Excisional lymph node biopsy revealed nodular sclerosis classical Hodgkin lymphoma Fig. Microscopic examination results of her skin biopsy demonstrated an ulcer with neutrophils infiltration without lymphoma cell invasion.

Her pruritus markedly improved within one cycle of chemotherapy. After four cycles, she achieved complete remission and skin lesion relief Fig. Figure 1. Open in new tab Download slide. Figure 2. Figure 3. Published by Oxford University Press.
