Primary cutaneous lymphomas: A retrospective evaluation

Of the 34 patients, 15 (44.1%) were assessed to be at stage IA, seven (20.6%) at stage IB, seven (20.6%) at stage IIA, tree (8.8%) at stage IIB and two (5.9%) at stage III at the time of diagnosis.Conclusion: Early diagnosis is critical to prevent progression of primary cutaneous lymphoma and to decrease mortality rate, because it directly affects the survival and quality of life of patients.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯

Objective & Hypothesis:Purpose: In this study, we aimed to determine the demographic and clinical features of patients with primary cutaneous lymphoma.Patients and Method: Thirty-four patients were evaluated in terms of diagnosis, staging, treatment and clinical progress retrospectively between January 1989-June 2004.Results: There were 12 (35.3%) men and 22 (66.7%) women (mean age 46.6 years) at diagnosis.

📊

Key Findings & Data:According to EORTC classification, 32 patients were diagnosed with mycosis fungoides, one patient was diagnosed with angiocentric lymphoma and one with CD30+ anaplastic large-cell lymphoma.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada primer kutanöz lenfoma tanısı ile Dermatoloji ve Hematoloji Klinikleri tarafından ortak izlenen hastaların demografik ve klinik özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Hastalar ve Yöntem: Ocak 1989-Haziran 2004 tarihleri arasında izlenen 34 hasta retrospektif olarak tanı, evrelendirme, tedavi ve klinik seyir açısından değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hastaların 12’si (%35.3) erkek, 22’si (%64.7) kadın olup, yaşları tanı aldıklarında 46.6 yıl idi. EORTC sınıflamasına göre bir hasta anjiosentrik lenfoma, bir hasta CD 30 (+) anaplastik büyük hücreli lenfoma ve geri kalan 32 hasta da mikozis fungoides olarak tanı aldı. İlk tanı tarihlerinde bu hastaların 15’i (%44.1) evre IA, yedisi (%20.6) evre IB, yedisi (%20.6) evre IIA, üçü (%8.8) evre IIB ve ikisi (%5.9) evre III olarak değerlendirildi.Sonuç: Primer kutanöz lenfomalı hastaların yaşam süresini ve yaşam kalitesini doğrudan etkilediği için erken tanı hastalığın progresif seyretmesinin önlenmesi ve mortalite oranının düşürülmesi açısından önemlidir.
