title: Cutaneous lymphomas and association to sex hormones.
abstract: Male gender is interpreted as a risk factor for developing mycosis fungoides and perhaps other cutaneous and extracutaneous lymphomas. In this review the authors examine epidemiologic, clinical, pathologic, and molecular data in an effort to understand whether and to what extent gender or sex hormones are involved in the pathogenesis of lymphoproliferative disorders.
