The cutaneous lymphomas constitute a large group within the non-Hodgkin lymphomas. They include various types of lymphoproliferative disorders and they are classified according to their origin, clinical picture and morphology in T or B. The fungoid mycosis and Sézary's syndrome are among them. Although these entities differ in their clinical manifestations, it is believed that they are variants of a same lymphoproliferative disorder of the CD4 T-lymphocyte. These non-Hodgkin lymphomas of T-cells appear in individuals aged 40-60 and they are two times more frequent in males than in females. An adequate treatment depends on an accurate morphological, immunological, genetic and molecular diagnosis that will allow a faster remission, a higher survival and the incorporation of these individuals to society's useful life.

Keywords : cutaneous lymphoma; fungoid mycosis; Sézary's syndrome.
