title: Classification of cutaneous lymphoma: a critical appraisal of recent proposals.
abstract: The classification of cutaneous lymphoma is a contentious issue. In this short review the merits of REAL classification and EORTC classification for cutaneous lymphoproliferative disease are examined. Points of terminological confusion between the two schemes are considered and a brief account of less common or ambiguous lymphoma types is provided.
