Oral manifestations of cutaneous T cell lymphoma.
Oral manifestations of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) have received little attention in the dermatologic literature. The authors report two patients with lingual lesions. The histologic features are similar to those of the glabrous skin. A review of the 22 previously reported cases indicate a shortened survival. A retrospective review of 82 patients with CTCL treated at the authors' medical center identified only three with oral involvement. Radiation therapy offers effective palliation for these lesions.
