Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are a heterogeneous group of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas characterized by homing of the tumoral T-cells into the skin.1,2 The most frequent forms of CTCL are mycosis fungoides (MF) and its leukemic counterpart, the Sézary syndrome (SS). Currently, no curative treatment for CTCL is available, and the therapy aims to maintain a long-term complete remission and preserve quality of life. Patients with refractory or transformed MF and with SS have usually poor prognosis and the proposed treatment is mostly palliative.3
