title: The new World Health Organization-European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer classification of cutaneous lymphomas.
abstract: The WHO-EORTC classification of cutaneous lymphomas is a good start to unifying nomenclature, a necessity before coherent consensus diagnoses can be made. There are three provisional diagnoses in this new classification that are not covered in detail in this review because they are rare diseases that still require further study for definitive classification. Much remains to be elucidated about cutaneous lymphomas, but understanding of the major entities within the new classification is an important first step in understanding these diverse diseases.
