Prevalence, clinical features, and survival outcome trends of 627 patients with primary cutaneous lymphoma over 29 years: a retrospective review from single tertiary center in Korea.

ABSTRACT: The relative frequency of primary cutaneous lymphoma (PCL) subtypes shows wide variation across different geographical regions. This retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary referral center located in Korea to describe the relative frequency, demographics, survival outcomes, and temporal trend in PCL. A total of 627 PCL cases diagnosed between January 1994 and December 2022 were included. The majority of PCL cases (87.2%) were of T-/NK-cell lineage (CTCL), while the remaining cases (12.8%) were B-cell lineage lymphomas (CBCL). The prevalence of mycosis fungoides (MF) in CTCL increased significantly over time, while other CTCL subtypes, including primary cutaneous extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma and subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL), decreased in frequency.
