Cutaneous T- cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are a group of disorders characterized by an abnormal accumulation of cancerous T-cells (a type of white blood cells) in the skin resulting in an itchy, red rash that can thicken or form a tumor. CTCLs belong to a larger group of disorders known as non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The most common types are...National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences
