Pierwotny skórny chłoniak z komórek b
Epidemiologia

Pierwotny skórny chłoniak z komórek B (PCBCL) stanowi około 25-30% wszystkich pierwotnych chłoniaków skórnych, z częstością występowania około 3,1 przypadków na 1 000 000 osobolat według danych SEER. Choroba dotyka głównie osoby dorosłe w wieku 60-65 lat, z różnicami w zależności od podtypu: PCMZL pojawia się zwykle w 5. dekadzie życia, PCFCL około 51 lat, a PCDLBCL-LT u osób starszych (70-80 lat). PCBCL jest częstszy u mężczyzn (stosunek M/F około 1,7), z wyjątkiem PCDLBCL-LT, który dominuje u kobiet (M/F 1:3-4). Epidemiologia wykazuje także zróżnicowanie geograficzne i rasowe – PCBCL występuje najczęściej u nie-latynoskich białych (3,5/1 000 000 osobolat), a najrzadziej u osób rasy czarnej (1,5/1 000 000 osobolat). Najczęstsze podtypy to pcDLBCL (40%), PCFCL (30%) i PCMZL (25%), zróżnicowane pod względem rokowania i agresywności.

Epidemiologia pierwotnego skórnego chłoniaka z komórek B

Pierwotny skórny chłoniak z komórek B (PCBCL, ang. Primary Cutaneous B-cell Lymphoma) stanowi rzadką grupę nowotworów wywodzących się z limfocytów B, które pierwotnie zajmują skórę bez dowodów na zajęcie pozaskórne w momencie diagnozy. W przeciwieństwie do bardziej rozpowszechnionych chłoniaków skórnych z komórek T (CTCL), które stanowią około 70-75% wszystkich chłoniaków skórnych, PCBCL odpowiada za około 25-30% przypadków, co czyni go drugą najczęstszą grupą pierwotnych chłoniaków skórnych123.

Częstotliwość występowania i trendy

Według danych z programu SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results) w Stanach Zjednoczonych, całkowita częstość występowania chłoniaków skórnych wynosi około 10,7 przypadków na 1 000 000 osobolat. Wśród nich, PCBCL odpowiada za około 29% przypadków, z częstością występowania na poziomie 3,1 przypadków na 1 000 000 osobolat4. W innych badaniach szacuje się, że ogólna częstość występowania pierwotnych chłoniaków skórnych wynosi od 0,5 do 1 przypadku na 100 000 osób rocznie56.

Częstość występowania PCBCL jest różna w zależności od regionu geograficznego. Badania pokazują, że w krajach zachodnich częstość występowania jest szacowana na 0,31 przypadku na 100 000 osobolat (0,4 dla mężczyzn i 0,23 dla kobiet)7. W Stanach Zjednoczonych i Europie PCBCL stanowi od 10% (USA) do 20% (Europa) wszystkich chłoniaków skórnych8. Natomiast badania przeprowadzone w Argentynie wykazały nieco niższą częstość występowania PCBCL w porównaniu ze Stanami Zjednoczonymi i Europą9.

Warto zauważyć, że w ciągu ostatnich 25 lat zaobserwowano znaczący wzrost częstości występowania chłoniaków skórnych. Według danych SEER, częstość występowania wzrosła z 5,0 przypadków na 1 000 000 osobolat w latach 1980-1982 do 14,3 w latach 2001-2003. W latach 2004-2005 częstość ta wynosiła 12,7 przypadków na 1 000 000 osobolat10. Ta niedawna zmiana może wynikać z niepełnej rejestracji przypadków lub potencjalnego ustabilizowania się częstości występowania.

Rozkład wiekowy i płciowy

Pierwotny skórny chłoniak z komórek B występuje głównie u osób dorosłych, ze średnią wieku w momencie diagnozy wynoszącą około 60-65 lat11. Jednakże różne podtypy PCBCL mogą wykazywać odmienne wzorce wiekowe:

  • Pierwotny skórny chłoniak strefy brzeżnej (PCMZL) zazwyczaj występuje u osób w piątej dekadzie życia (50-55 lat), chociaż odnotowano również przypadki u dzieci1213
  • Pierwotny skórny chłoniak z ośrodków rozmnażania (PCFCL) dotyka głównie osoby w średnim i starszym wieku, ze średnią wieku około 51 lat14
  • Pierwotny skórny chłoniak rozlany z dużych komórek B typu kończynowego (PCDLBCL-LT) występuje głównie u osób starszych, ze średnią wieku w połowie i pod koniec lat siedemdziesiątych15

Badanie oparte na populacji pediatrycznej wykazało, że PCBCL jest niezwykle rzadki u dzieci i młodzieży. Częstość występowania PCBCL w populacji pediatrycznej (poniżej 20 lat) wynosi zaledwie 0,12 przypadku na 1 000 000 osobolat, co jest około 40-krotnie niższą częstością niż w populacji dorosłych16.

Jeśli chodzi o rozkład płciowy, generalnie PCBCL jest częstszy u mężczyzn niż u kobiet, ze stosunkiem mężczyzn do kobiet (M/F) wynoszącym około 1,72-1,761718. Jednakże wzorzec ten różni się w zależności od podtypu:

  • PCMZL i PCFCL występują częściej u mężczyzn, ze stosunkiem M/F wynoszącym odpowiednio około 2:1 i 1,5:119
  • W przeciwieństwie do tego, PCDLBCL-LT występuje częściej u kobiet niż u mężczyzn, ze stosunkiem M/F wynoszącym 1:3-42021

Różnice rasowe i geograficzne

Badania pokazują interesujące różnice w częstości występowania PCBCL w zależności od rasy i pochodzenia etnicznego. Zgodnie z danymi SEER, całkowita częstość występowania chłoniaków skórnych była najwyższa wśród osób rasy czarnej i nie-latynoskich białych (obie grupy 11,5 przypadków na 1 000 000 osobolat), następnie wśród latynoskich białych (7,9) i Azjatów/mieszkańców wysp Pacyfiku (7,1)22.

Co ciekawe, wzorce te różnią się znacząco między CTCL a PCBCL. Podczas gdy częstość występowania CTCL była najwyższa wśród osób rasy czarnej (10,0 przypadków na 1 000 000 osobolat), częstość występowania PCBCL była najwyższa wśród nie-latynoskich białych (3,5 przypadków na 1 000 000 osobolat), następnie wśród latynoskich białych (2,8), Azjatów/mieszkańców wysp Pacyfiku (1,9) i osób rasy czarnej, które miały najniższą częstość występowania (1,5)23. Te różnice podkreślają, że PCBCL występuje częściej wśród osób rasy białej, zwłaszcza nie-latynoskich białych2425.

Istnieją również różnice geograficzne w częstości występowania PCBCL. Badania sugerują, że częstość występowania różni się w zależności od regionu. Na przykład, badanie przeprowadzone w Korei wykazało, że wśród wszystkich pierwotnych chłoniaków skórnych zdiagnozowanych w okresie 29 lat, tylko 12,8% stanowiły PCBCL, podczas gdy pozostałe 87,2% to chłoniaki z komórek T/NK26. Ten odsetek jest niższy niż szacowany 25-30% w krajach zachodnich, co sugeruje możliwe różnice geograficzne w częstości występowania PCBCL.

Rozkład podtypów PCBCL

PCBCL obejmuje kilka głównych podtypów, z różną częstością występowania i charakterystyką kliniczną. Według danych SEER, najczęstszymi podtypami PCBCL były27:

  • Pierwotny skórny rozlany chłoniak z dużych komórek B (pcDLBCL) – 40% przypadków PCBCL (częstość 1,2/1 000 000 osobolat)
  • Skórny chłoniak z ośrodków rozmnażania (PCFCL) – 30% przypadków (częstość 0,9/1 000 000 osobolat)
  • Skórny chłoniak strefy brzeżnej z komórek B (PCMZL) – 25% przypadków (częstość 0,8/1 000 000 osobolat)

Jednakże rozkład podtypów może różnić się w różnych badaniach i regionach. Na przykład, w hiszpańskim badaniu obejmującym 103 przypadki PCBCL, najczęstszym podtypem był PCMZL (66%), następnie PCFCL (26%) i PCDLBCL-LT (8%)28. PCFCL jest często opisywany jako najczęstszy typ PCBCL, stanowiący około 60% wszystkich przypadków2930. Natomiast PCDLBCL-LT stanowi około 5% wszystkich chłoniaków skórnych i 20% wszystkich PCBCL31.

W populacji pediatrycznej, głównym podtypem histologicznym jest chłoniak strefy brzeżnej32.

Czynniki ryzyka i przeżywalność

Dokładna etiologia PCBCL pozostaje w dużej mierze nieznana. Jednak jednym z potencjalnych czynników ryzyka jest osłabiony układ odpornościowy. Osoby z osłabionym układem odpornościowym, czy to z powodu leków immunosupresyjnych czy choroby, mogą mieć zwiększone ryzyko rozwoju PCBCL33.

PCBCL generalnie charakteryzuje się dobrym rokowaniem, ale przeżywalność różni się znacząco w zależności od podtypu. Ogólny 5-letni wskaźnik przeżycia względnego dla pacjentów z PCBCL wynosi około 87%34. Jednakże:

  • PCMZL i PCFCL są indolentnymi (powolnie rosnącymi) typami chłoniaka z doskonałym rokowaniem, z 5-letnim wskaźnikiem przeżycia wynoszącym 95-100%353637. Wskaźniki przeżycia dla PCFCL i PCMZL wynoszą od 93% do 96%38.
  • W przeciwieństwie do tego, PCDLBCL-LT jest bardziej agresywnym schorzeniem z gorszym rokowaniem. 5-letni wskaźnik przeżycia wynosi od 20% do 50%3940. Wskaźnik przeżycia dla pcDLBCL typu kończynowego (46%) jest znacznie niższy niż dla pcDLBCL o innej lokalizacji (81%)41.

Nawroty skórne są częste w PCBCL, z częstością nawrotów sięgającą 50% pacjentów4243. Jednak rozsiew pozaskórny jest rzadki i występuje u około 4% pacjentów z PCFCL i PCMZL44. W przypadku PCDLBCL-LT rozsiew pozaskórny występuje u około 10% pacjentów45.

Wskaźniki przeżycia są podobne u mężczyzn i kobiet z PCBCL (oba 86%)46. Jeśli chodzi o rasę, ogólne wskaźniki przeżycia dla PCBCL były najwyższe wśród osób rasy białej (87%) i najniższe wśród osób rasy czarnej (83%)47.

Wyzwania w nadzorze i diagnostyce

Nadzór epidemiologiczny PCBCL stwarza szereg wyzwań ze względu na rzadkość tych schorzeń. Precyzyjna diagnoza wymaga dokładnego badania histopatologicznego biopsji skóry oraz wykluczenia choroby układowej48. Preferowana jest biopsja wycinająca, ale w przypadku gdy nie jest to odpowiednie, można ją zastąpić biopsją sztancową o odpowiedniej długości.

Rozróżnienie PCBCL od chłoniaków układowych z wtórnym zajęciem skóry jest kluczowe, ponieważ ich zachowania kliniczne, rokowanie i leczenie różnią się znacząco4950. Różnicowanie to jest szczególnie ważne w przypadku DLBCL z zajęciem skóry, który można podzielić na dwa odrębne podzbiory: pierwotny skórny DLBCL, który początkowo występuje w skórze, oraz DLBCL z wtórnym rozsiewem do skóry51.

Warto zauważyć, że wtórne zajęcie skóry w systemowym DLBCL wskazuje na wysokie ryzyko progresji choroby i złe rokowanie52. Z tego powodu dokładne różnicowanie pierwotnych i wtórnych chłoniaków skórnych z komórek B ma kluczowe znaczenie dla prawidłowego leczenia i rokowania pacjenta.

Standardy nadzoru i monitorowanie PCBCL

Ze względu na rzadkość występowania PCBCL, istnieje duża różnorodność w zarządzaniu terapeutycznym, często ekstrapolowanym od pacjentów z odpowiednikami węzłowymi53. Zalecenia dotyczące leczenia w dużej mierze opierają się na małych badaniach retrospektywnych i doświadczeniach instytucjonalnych54. Z tego względu solidne dowody są rzadkie.

Pierwotne badania diagnostyczne

Pierwotne badania u pacjentów z PCBCL powinny obejmować55:

Biopsja szpiku kostnego nie jest wskazana dla PCMZL56.

Monitorowanie i follow-up

Zaleca się przedłużony okres obserwacji pacjentów z PCBCL, czasami aż do pięciu lat po całkowitej odpowiedzi na leczenie pierwotne, ze względu na możliwość późnego nawrotu57. Jest to szczególnie ważne, ponieważ nawroty skórne są częste w PCBCL, dotykając do 50% pacjentów58.

Wielu pacjentów z powolnie rosnącym PCBCL nie wymaga natychmiastowego leczenia. Zamiast tego, lekarz monitoruje stan pacjenta. Jest to nazywane aktywnym monitorowaniem lub strategią „watch and wait”. Jest ona często stosowana w przypadku chłoniaka we wczesnym stadium, który nie odniósłby korzyści z leczenia59.

Optymalne zarządzanie pacjentami z PCBCL wymaga podejścia wielodyscyplinarnego60. Potrzebne są badania wieloośrodkowe i próby kliniczne, aby ocenić najlepsze podejście terapeutyczne i zarządzanie pacjentami z PCBCL.

Rejestracja i gromadzenie danych

Program SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results) w Stanach Zjednoczonych jest cennym źródłem danych epidemiologicznych dotyczących PCBCL. Dostarcza on informacji o częstości występowania, rozkładzie demograficznym i wskaźnikach przeżycia dla różnych podtypów PCBCL61.

W innych krajach podejmowane są również wysiłki w celu stworzenia rejestrów narodowych dla chłoniaków skórnych. Na przykład, we Włoszech Włoska Grupa Badawcza Chłoniaków Skórnych (ICLSG) pracuje nad stworzeniem krajowego rejestru dla chłoniaków skórnych z komórek T, opartego na rejestrach wielodyscyplinarnych zespołów (MDT), aby dostarczyć informacje z perspektywy krajowej62. Podobne inicjatywy mogłyby być korzystne dla gromadzenia danych dotyczących PCBCL.

Znaczenie epidemiologiczne i przyszłe kierunki badań

Dane epidemiologiczne dotyczące PCBCL są kluczowe dla zrozumienia trendów choroby, identyfikacji czynników ryzyka i rozwoju strategii profilaktycznych. Obserwowane różnice w częstości występowania między rasami, płciami i regionami geograficznymi podkreślają złożoność tych chorób i sugerują, że mogą one reprezentować odrębne jednostki chorobowe63.

Przyszłe badania powinny skupić się na lepszym zrozumieniu etiologii i czynników ryzyka PCBCL, a także na opracowaniu skuteczniejszych strategii diagnostycznych i terapeutycznych. Potrzebne są również większe, populacyjne badania z dokładnym przeglądem histologicznym, aby potwierdzić obserwacje epidemiologiczne i lepiej scharakteryzować różne podtypy PCBCL64.

Ponadto, rozwój krajowych i międzynarodowych rejestrów chłoniaków skórnych może pomóc w lepszym zrozumieniu rzeczywistej epidemiologii PCBCL i ułatwić współpracę badawczą65.

W miarę postępu badań i technologii, lepsze zrozumienie epidemiologii PCBCL może prowadzić do wcześniejszej diagnozy, bardziej spersonalizowanego leczenia i lepszych wyników dla pacjentów cierpiących na te rzadkie, ale znaczące choroby.

    Approximately 25% of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) cases will present at an extranodal site without systemic involvement. The overall incidence of primary cutaneous lymphomas in Western countries is estimated to be 0.5 to 1 case per 100,000 people annually. The PCBCLs make up approximately 25% of all primary cutaneous lymphomas, the remainder predominantly T-cell lymphomas (Swerdlow 2013). The incidence varies geographically with lower rates in some countries (Abeldano 2018). PCMZL represents an indolent type of CBCL comprising approximately 7% of PCL and approximately 25% of CBCL. In the revised WHO classification of lymphoma, PCMZL is considered under extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of MALT type (Swerdlow 2016, Swerdlow 2017). PCMZL usually presents in the fifth decade of life, although the disease has been diagnosed in children (Kempf 2014 Aug). Men are diagnosed approximately twice as often as women. Most cases occur in non-Hispanic Whites (Kempf 2014 Mar). The PCFCL is the most common PCBCL, accounting for approximately 60% of such cases (Willemze 2005, Willemzie 2019). It is primarily a disease of middle aged to older patients (median age at onset is 51) and a male to female ratio of approximately 1.5:1 (Zinzani 2006, Bradford 2009, Swerdlow 2017). PCLBCL, leg type comprises 5% of all cutaneous lymphomas and 20% of all PCBCLs. The median age at presentation is in the mid to late seventies and is more common in females than in males with a male to female ratio of 1:3-4 (Swerdlow 2017). In contrast to the previous 2 entities, PCDLBCL-leg type is an aggressive disease and is associated with poor prognosis.

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2686177/
    In total, 3884 cases (IR 10.7/1000000 person-years) of CLs were diagnosed among residents of the 16 SEER registries during 2001-2005. CTCL was the most common CL subtype accounting for 2769 or 71% of cases (IR = 7.7/1000000 person-years). In contrast to CTCLs, CBCLs accounted for 1105 cases or 29% of all CLs (IR 3.1/1000000 person-years). The most common CBCL subtypes were (40%) primary cutaneous diffuse large-B cell lymphoma (pcDLBCL; IR 1.2/1000000 person-years) and cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (30%; IR 0.9/1000000 person-years), followed by cutaneous marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (25%; IR 0.8/1000000 person-years). […] Overall, males had a statistically significant higher IR of CLs than females (14.0 vs 8.2/1000000 person-years, respectively; male-female IR ratio [M/F IRR] = 1.72; P .001). The M/F IRRs ranged between 1.28 to 2.55 among the various T-cell and B-cell lymphoma subtypes and were significantly elevated except for Szary syndrome (M/F IRR = 2.11, P = .05, based on small numbers) and pcDLBCL-leg type (M/F IRR = 1.19, P = .44).

  • #10 Cutaneous lymphoma incidence patterns in the United States: a population-based study of 3884 cases
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2686177/
    There have been no prior large population-based studies focusing on cutaneous lymphomas (CL) in the United States. Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program data, we analyzed age-adjusted CL incidence rates (IRs) and survival rates by sex and race/ethnicity. There were 3884 CLs diagnosed during 2001-2005. Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) accounted for 71% (age-adjusted incidence rate [IR] = 7.7/1000000 person-years), whereas cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (CBCLs) accounted for 29% (IR = 3.1/1000000 person-years). Males had a statistically significant higher IR of CL than females (14.0 vs 8.2/1000000 person-years, respectively; male-female IR ratio [M/F IRR] = 1.72; P .001). CL IRs were highest among blacks and non-Hispanic whites (both 11.5/1000000 person-years), followed by Hispanic whites (7.9) and Asian/Pacific Islanders (7.1). The CTCL IR was highest among blacks (10.0/1000000 person-years), whereas the CBCL IR was highest among non-Hispanic whites (3.5). Over the past 25 years, the CL IR increased from 5.0/1000000 person-years during 1980-1982 to 14.3 during 2001-2003. During 2004-2005, the CL IR was 12.7. This recent apparent change could be incomplete case ascertainment or potential leveling off of IRs. CLs rates vary markedly by race and sex, supporting the notion that they represent distinct disease entities.

Most cases occur in non-Hispanic Whites (Kempf 2014 Mar). The PCFCL is the most common PCBCL, accounting for approximately 60% of such cases (Willemze 2005, Willemzie 2019). It is primarily a disease of middle aged to older patients (median age at onset is 51) and a male to female ratio of approximately 1.5:1 (Zinzani 2006, Bradford 2009, Swerdlow 2017). PCLBCL, leg type comprises 5% of all cutaneous lymphomas and 20% of all PCBCLs. The median age at presentation is in the mid to late seventies and is more common in females than in males with a male to female ratio of 1:3-4 (Swerdlow 2017). In contrast to the previous 2 entities, PCDLBCL-leg type is an aggressive disease and is associated with poor prognosis.

    Primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma (PCMZL) is a low-grade B cell primary skin lymphoma, usually found in male adults around 50-55 years old. This disease can present as single or multiple erythematous macules, plaques, or tumors. The most common locations are the trunk and upper limbs. […] Treatment of this disease is based on only a limited number of short case series, and well-designed clinical trials are lacking; therefore, strong evidence is scarce. Currently, solitary lesions are treated via surgery or local radiotherapy, whereas multiple lesions are treated with radiotherapy, intravenous administration of rituximab, or watchful follow-up. The prognosis of this type of lymphoma is excellent, with a five-year survival rate of 95-100%. Nevertheless, PCMZL skin relapses are common (44-50%).

    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. Notably, the prevalence of CD4-positive small/medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder showed a substantial increase over time. Primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma was consistently the commonest CBCL subtype. Survival analysis demonstrated that CTCL had a more favorable 5-year overall survival (OS) than CBCL. OS rate of MF, SPTCL, and primary cutaneous peripheral T-cell lymphoma, NOS improved significantly over time. This study provides comprehensive insights into the dynamic change in the relative frequency and overall survival of PCL subtypes over time.

    Cutaneous B-cell lymphoma is a rare type of cancer that begins in the white blood cells. This cancer attacks the skin. Cutaneous B-cell lymphoma affects one type of germ-fighting white blood cells called B cells. These cells also are called B lymphocytes. […] Cutaneous B-cell lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Another type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that affects the skin is called cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma is more common than cutaneous B-cell lymphoma. […] The cause of cutaneous B-cell lymphoma often isn’t known. This cancer causes a growth of cells in the skin. It starts in germ-fighting white blood cells called lymphocytes. Cutaneous B-cell lymphoma affects specific lymphocytes called B lymphocytes. […] Risk factors for cutaneous B-cell lymphoma include: Weakened immune system. If the body’s germ-fighting immune system is weakened by medicine or illness, there might be a higher risk of cutaneous B-cell lymphoma. […] There is no way to prevent cutaneous B-cell lymphoma.

    The diagnosis of the disease can be established by histopathologic examination of the skin biopsy and exclusion of a systemic disease. Excisional biopsy is preferred but if an excisional biopsy is not appropriate, it can be substituted by a punch biopsy of an adequate length. […] The differentiation of PCMZL from reactive skin changes and other cutaneous lymphomas is important. Morphologic and immunophenotypic features and demonstration of clonality will aid in the differential diagnosis. […] Treatment depends on the symptoms of the patient, stage of the disease and the number of the lesions. The treatment options include antibiotics, rituximab, chemotherapy, intralesional interferon alfa, radiotherapy and excision. […] In patients with very extensive skin lesions, systemic rituximab is the first choice of treatment. Rituximab, systemic or intralesional, have been used in limited number of patients with PCFCL in the literature. CR has been achieved in 10/11 PCFCL patients treated with systemic rituximab while 3 patients had relapse after achieving CR. […] PCLBCL-LT is a more aggressive disease with extra-cutaneous progression, lower remission and higher relapse rates.

Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program data, we analyzed age-adjusted CL incidence rates (IRs) and survival rates by sex and race/ethnicity. There were 3884 CLs diagnosed during 2001-2005. Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) accounted for 71% (age-adjusted incidence rate [IR] = 7.7/1000000 person-years), whereas cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (CBCLs) accounted for 29% (IR = 3.1/1000000 person-years). Males had a statistically significant higher IR of CL than females (14.0 vs 8.2/1000000 person-years, respectively; male-female IR ratio [M/F IRR] = 1.72; P .001). CL IRs were highest among blacks and non-Hispanic whites (both 11.5/1000000 person-years), followed by Hispanic whites (7.9) and Asian/Pacific Islanders (7.1). The CTCL IR was highest among blacks (10.0/1000000 person-years), whereas the CBCL IR was highest among non-Hispanic whites (3.5). Over the past 25 years, the CL IR increased from 5.0/1000000 person-years during 1980-1982 to 14.3 during 2001-2003. During 2004-2005, the CL IR was 12.7. This recent apparent change could be incomplete case ascertainment or potential leveling off of IRs. CLs rates vary markedly by race and sex, supporting the notion that they represent distinct disease entities.

    Cutaneous T cell lymphomas (CTCL) represent a rare and heterogeneous group of lymphomas that present in the skin without extracutaneous manifestations at the time of diagnosis. […] Data on the epidemiology of CTCL are primarily based on patient cohorts seen in these expert centers, frequently influenced by referral bias. […] Several epidemiological studies have been reported, but no epidemiologic data are currently available in Italy. […] One of the main goals of the MDT was to register the number and types of cutaneous lymphomas across Marche in order to estimate the incidence as well as survival rate and other outcome data. […] During the study period (1995-2020), 492 patients with newly diagnosed CTCL were reported and evaluated. […] CTCL showed a moderately higher prevalence in men than in women (M: F = 2,3: 1) and median age at diagnosis was 62 years (range, 10-90), with significative differences reported between subtype. […] The real epidemiology of CTCL is still a matter of debate. […] Currently, the Italian Cutaneous Lymphoma Study-Group (ICLSG-named Commissione Linfomi Cutanei) effort is to create a national register for CTCL, based on MDT registry, to provide information from a national perspective.

    There have been no prior large population-based studies focusing on cutaneous lymphomas (CL) in the United States. Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program data, we analyzed age-adjusted CL incidence rates (IRs) and survival rates by sex and race/ethnicity. There were 3884 CLs diagnosed during 2001-2005. Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) accounted for 71% (age-adjusted incidence rate [IR] = 7.7/1000000 person-years), whereas cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (CBCLs) accounted for 29% (IR = 3.1/1000000 person-years). Males had a statistically significant higher IR of CL than females (14.0 vs 8.2/1000000 person-years, respectively; male-female IR ratio [M/F IRR] = 1.72; P .001). CL IRs were highest among blacks and non-Hispanic whites (both 11.5/1000000 person-years), followed by Hispanic whites (7.9) and Asian/Pacific Islanders (7.1). The CTCL IR was highest among blacks (10.0/1000000 person-years), whereas the CBCL IR was highest among non-Hispanic whites (3.5). Over the past 25 years, the CL IR increased from 5.0/1000000 person-years during 1980-1982 to 14.3 during 2001-2003. During 2004-2005, the CL IR was 12.7.

    Overall 5-year relative survival rates for patients with CTCL and CBCL were high (85% and 87%, respectively). CTCL survival rates ranged from 91% for patients with MF to 40% for patients with Szary syndrome. CBCL survival rates ranged from 93% to 96% for patients with cutaneous follicle center lymphoma or cutaneous marginal B-cell lymphoma. Survival rates were much lower among patients with pcDLBCL-leg (46%) than pcDLBCL-other (81%). Five-year relative survival rates were similar among males and females with CTCL (84% and 88%, respectively) and CBCL (both 86%). Overall CTCL and CBCL survival rates were highest among whites (both 87%) and lowest in blacks (82% and 83%, respectively). […] In conclusion, our result of primary cutaneous follicular center lymphoma and pcDLCL should be interpreted with caution until a future population-based study conducts a detailed histologic review of CBCL in the US and our findings are confirmed.
