===General===
*''Mycosis fungoides'' - is a subtype (???).
*CTCL is more common than cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (CBCL).<ref>URL: [http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1099540-overview http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1099540-overview].

Stages - like [[Kaposi sarcoma]]:
*Patch.
*Plaque.
*Nodular.
 
===Microscopic===
*Atypical lymphocytes:
**Have folded "cerebriform" nuclei; ''Sezary-Lutzner cells''.<ref name=Ref_Klatt385>{{Ref Klatt|385}}</ref>
*Grouping:
**Nests in the epidermis - known as "Pautrier microabscesses".
**Single lymphocytes in epidermis - without accompanying edema.
**Short linear arrays of lymphocytes along the basal layer of the epidermis; "epidermotropism".<ref name=Ref_Klatt385>{{Ref Klatt|385}}</ref>
 
DDx:
*[[Lymphomatoid papulosis]].
