AB KEY  POINTSCutaneous  T-cell  lymphoma  (CTCL)  refers  to  a  group  of  non-Hodgkin  lymphomas  that  primarily  involve  the  skin.Mycosis  fungoides  (MF)  represents  the  most  common  form  of  CTCL.The  incidence  and  mortality  rate  of  MF  are  higher  in  African  Americans  than  in  Caucasians,  especially  in  African  American  females.Hypopigmented  patches  and  plaques  are  not  infrequently  the  presenting  signs  of  MF  in  patients  with  skin  of  color.The  age  of  onset  is  lower  in  patients  with  hypopigmented  MF  compared  with  nonhypopigmented  disease.Treatment  of  CTCL  includes  topical  nitrogen  mustard,  phototherapy,  oral  and  systemic  chemotherapy,  and  radiation  therapy.
