cutaneous T-cell lymphoma - (pronounced) (kyoo-TAY-nee-us. . . lim-FOH-muh) type of cancer that starts in T cells (a type of white blood cell) and affects the skin. There are different types of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Most are characterized by an itchy, scaly, red rash that can become thick or tumorous on the skin, or reddening of the skin all over the body. The lymph nodes can also be swollen. Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas are usually slow-growing, but some can grow quickly and spread to the lymph nodes or other organs, such as the spleen or liver. They usually appear in middle-aged or older men. The most common types of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma are mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome.
