Drs. John C. Hall and Brian J. Hall have assembled world leaders on this ever-changing topic of Cutaneous Lymphoma, to explore advances in research. The text first discusses the new classifications of cutaneous lymphoma. Epidemiology is then reviewed. A general approach to the patient suspected of having a cutaneous lymphoma is outlined. Diagnosis, histopathology, molecular genetics, and treatment of each subgroup is discussed. Precursors and mimics, which make this such a fascinating group of diseases, are reviewed. Systemic considerations of this primarily cutaneous disease are also covered. Molecular genetics of cutaneous lymphomas that have helped advance all of medicine are discussed, and finally, the future of this dynamic area of medicine is detailed
