RESUMEN

Los linfomas cutáneos primarios representan un heterogéneo grupo de linfomas no-Hodgkin con una amplia variedad desde el punto de vista clínico, histológico, inmunofenotípico y pronóstico. Esta variedad, junto al diferente comportamiento biológico que han demostrado los linfomas cutáneos respecto a sus homólogos sistémicos, ha llevado al desarrollo de sistemas de clasificación específicos para el linfoma cutáneo, como la clasificación de la EORTC de 1997. El diagnóstico del linfoma cutáneo precisa de la integración de la información clínica, histológica, inmunohistoquímica y genética. No obstante, a pesar de la aplicación de técnicas de biología molecular existe un porcentaje de linfomas cutáneos que no llegan a diagnosticarse y clasificarse correctamente.
Debido al buen pronóstico del linfoma cutáneo en estadios iniciales y a la ausencia de tratamiento curativo han sido propuestos múltiples regímenes para el manejo de estos pacientes. El uso de corticoides tópicos, emolientes, mostazas nitrogenadas, carmustina, fototerapia, radioterapia (localizada, irradiación corporal total), agentes modificadores biológicos (interferón, bexaroteno), quimioterápicos (gemcitabina, pentostatina, etc) son algunas de las modalidades terapéuticas actualmente empleadas en estos pacientes. La elección adecuada de la modalidad más adecuada en cada caso debe tener en cuenta el tipo clínico de linfoma y especialmente el estadio clínico del mismo, además del perfil de seguridad y las tasas de respuestas conseguidas con cada uno de estos agentes.
Las clasificaciones actuales de linfoma cutáneo, modalidades terapéuticas, así como los protocolos de actuación para el manejo del paciente con linfoma cutáneo de células T son descritos con detalle en este artículo.
