Definition

Primary cutaneous T-cell neoplasmsGenetic marker(s)
Mycosis fungoidesMF is a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with clonal small to medium-sized mature T cells. Mutated genes are enriched in JAK3/STAT3 signaling, MAPK signaling, and epigenetic regulation. Common mutations include TNFRSF1B, KMT2C, TP53, KRAS, PLCG1, DNMT3A.1
Primary cutaneous CD30-positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disordersPrimary cutaneous CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorders include lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) and cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (C-ALCL), with a good prognosis for both subtypes. Chromosome rearrangements/ gene fusions are dominant drivers, including NPM1::ALK from t(2;5)(p23;q35), DUSP22::FRA7H from t(6;7)(p25.3;q32.3), TP63::TBL1XR1 from inv(3)(q26q28), and NPM1::TYK2 from t(5;19)(q35;p13). Additional frequently mutated genes include STAT3, H3K4, KMT2D, KMT2A, SETD2, CREBBP, TP53.2-5
Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphomaSPTCL is a CD8+ cytotoxic α/β T-cell lymphoma mimicking panniculitis. PI3K/AKT/mTOR and JAK‐STAT signaling are involved in tumorigenesis.6,7 Germline mutation in HAVCR2 (encoding T-cell immunoglobulin mucin 3) is a genetic factor that predisposes to this disease. Additional frequently mutated genes include UNC13D, PIAS3, KMT2D.8
