The cutaneous lymphomas are useful models for studying the etiopathogenic mechanisms of the lymphoproliferative diseases, since the samples of tissue are obtained through non invasive methods for the diagnosis and follow-up. Although the cutaneous T-cell lymphomas are developed from the T lymphocytes existing in the skin, other cells and diverse factors associated with the lymphoid tissues take part in the lymphomagenesis. The appearance of these lymphomas in the skin does not exclude the presence of malignant cells in the circulation and their development in other organs. Nowadays, the possibility of detecting the injuries in early stages and the accuracy of alterations in the T-cell receptor allows to extend the study of this disease.
