Overview

There are 3 classification methods used to classify cutaneous T cell lymphoma into several subtypes. Cutaneous T cell lymphoma may be classified into several subtypes based on WHO-EORTC classification.

Classification

According to world Health Organization (WHO) and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) classification, mycosis fungoides may be classified into the following types:[1][2]


Cutaneous T cell lymphoma classification[3]
Name Description
Mycosis fungoides (MF)
  • Most common form of cutaneous T cell lymphoma
  • Starts in the skin in areas of the body not usually exposed to the sun
  • May appear as a scaly, pink patches on the skin
  • Signs can progress to the development of skin tumors in more advanced cases

Staging

  • The staging of cutaneous T cell lymphoma is based on skin and lymph node involvement.[3]
  • Staging for cutaneous T cell lymphoma(Mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sezary syndrome have same critera for staging) is provided in the following table:[4][5]
Staging for mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome
Skin (T)
T1 Limited patches, papules, and/or plaques covering <10% of the skin surface. May further stratify into T1a (patch only) versus T1b (plaque patch)
T2 Patches, papules, or plaques covering 10% of the skin surface. May further stratify into T2a (patch only) versus T2b (plaque patch).
T3 One or more tumours (1-cm diameter)
T4 Confluence of erythema covering 80% body surface area
Node (N)
N0 No clinically abnormal peripheral lymph nodes; biopsy not required
N1 Clinically abnormal lymph nodes; histopathology Dutch grade 1 or NCI LN0-2
N1a Clone negative
N1b Clone posetive
N2 Clinically abnormal peripheral lymph nodes; histopathology Dutch grade 2 or NCI LN3
N2a Clone negatove
N2b Clone posetive
N3 Clinically abnormal peripheral lymph nodes; histopathology Dutch grades 3e4 or NCI LN4; clone positive or negative
NX Clinically abnormal peripheral lymph nodes; no histologic confirmation
Visceral (M)
M0 No visceral organ involvement
M1 Visceral involvement (must have pathology confirmation and organ involved should be specified)
Blood (B)
B0 0 Absence of significant blood involvement: 5% of peripheral blood lymphocytes are atypical (Sezary) cells B0a Clone negative B0b Clone positive
B1 Low blood tumour burden: >5% of peripheral blood lymphocytes are atypical (Sezary) cells but does not meet the criteria of B2 B1a Clone negative B1b Clone positive
B2 High blood tumour burden: 1000/mL Sezary cells with positive clone

The staging of Sezary syndrome is based on the clinical stages:[4][6]

clinical stages
Stage T N M B DDS
IA 1 0 0 0/1 98
IB 2 0 0 0/1 89
IIA 1.2 1.2 0 0/1 89
IIB 3 0-2 0 0/1 56
IIIA 4 0-2 0 0 54
IIIB 4 0-2 0 1 48
IVA1 1-4 0-2 0 2 41
IVA2 1-4 3 0 0-2 23
IVB 1-4 0-3 1 0-2 18
