Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cutaneous lymphomas are a rare and heterogeneous group of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas primarily affecting the skin. Since their first detailed descriptions, understanding of these disorders has grown significantly, yet diagnosis remains challenging due to overlapping clinical and histopathological features. Accurate assessment often requires integration of clinical, immunophenotypic, and molecular data, reflecting the complex nature of these malignancies.
This Special Issue, “Cutaneous Lymphomas: Diagnostic Challenges and Therapeutic Frontiers,” aims to provide a comprehensive platform for exploring advances in both the understanding and management of cutaneous lymphomas. We seek to highlight innovative diagnostic strategies, elucidate mechanisms of disease progression, and examine emerging therapeutic approaches, including targeted therapies and immunomodulatory treatments.
We invite original research articles, comprehensive reviews and translational studies that address diagnostic challenges, therapeutic innovations, and novel insights into disease biology. By bringing together contributions from leading experts, this issue intends to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice, offering readers a holistic perspective on current and future directions in the field of cutaneous lymphomas.
