Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma (PCMZL) by analyzing recurrent cases to determine whether it's a reactive process or a true lymphoma, utilizing data from the French Study Group of Cutaneous Lymphoma (GFELC).
- - Methods included assessing histology, B-cell clonality, and immunophenotype of lesions, revealing that most initial cases were localized, with differences in recurrence times based on location, and certain clonal patterns were more prominent in local recurrences.
- - The findings suggest that assessing immunoglobulin phenotype, particularly IgM and IgD, may be critical for diagnosing PCMZL, as IgM-positive cases tend to lead to more aggressive transformation and poorer prognosis, indicating different biological

Article Synopsis
- Sézary syndrome is a rare and deadly skin cancer, and this study looked into the survival rates and factors affecting outcomes, particularly focusing on the treatment mogamulizumab.
- *The research analyzed data from 339 patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2020 across Europe, highlighting that age over 80 and large-cell transformation worsened survival rates.
- *Results indicated that patients treated with mogamulizumab had significantly lower mortality rates, suggesting it is an effective treatment option for Sézary syndrome.
Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are a diverse group of malignant blood disorders characterized by initial skin infiltration, and sometimes, tumor spreading to lymph nodes, blood, and viscera. Mycosis fungoides is the most common form. Sézary syndrome is a distinctive form of CTCL marked by a significant presence of circulating tumor cells in peripheral blood.

- CD39 is an enzyme in a pathway that helps suppress the immune system and is linked to the growth and spread of solid tumors, particularly in skin-related cancers.
- Research found that CD39 is overexpressed in specific T-cell lymphomas, including Sezary syndrome and mycosis fungoides, in both blood and skin lymphocytes.
- The study suggests that blocking the CD39/CD73/adenosine pathway could be a promising approach for treating these types of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas.
Background: Advanced-stage cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are rare, usually refractory, and fatal diseases. Case series have suggested that allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) might improve the prognosis of advanced-stage CTCLs. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of allogeneic HSCT compared with non-HSCT therapy on the outcome of individuals with advanced-stage CTCLs.

Mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome are epidermotropic cutaneous lymphomas, and both of them are rare diseases. Mycosis fungoides is the most frequent primary cutaneous lymphoma. In about 25% of patients with mycosis fungoides, the disease may progress to higher stages.
