Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a disease in T-Cell lymphocytes (a type of cell in the immune system) become cancerous (malignant) and affect the skin. CTCL is different from other types of lymphoma and other cancers which can involve the skin. CTCL
tend to be low-grade - slow growing tumours which can cause symptoms such as itchiness, waxing and/or darkening patches of the skin. As the disease progresses, tumours may form on the skin, in a condition known as Mycosis Fungoides. In an advanced
stage of Mycosis Fungoides large numbers of CTCL cells are found in the blood, this is known as the Sezary syndrome.

Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of bone (PLB) is a rare type of cancer starting in bone, it accounts for about 7% of all primary bone tumours.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) usually starts in the lymph nodes and lymph glands (part of the immune system). PLB, however, starts in the bone. This is distinct from NHL which started in the lymph notes and then spread to the bones (bone metastases).
The peak age of people diagnosed with PLB is in the 50-60 yr age group, the disease is slightly more common in men than in women. Symptoms are usually bone pain and sometimes swelling. The majority of people with PLB are diagnosed with a single
localised tumour. PLB has higher survival rates compared to other types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has increased in parallel with the AIDS epidemic. Lymphomas affecting HIV infected people are mostly of the aggressive B-cell types (diffuse large cell, B-immunoblastic, or small non-cleaved Burkitt's / Burkitt's like
lymphoma) which are less common in non-HIV infected lymphoma patients. The HIV virus is not thought to a direct cause of lymphoma, rather it weakens the body's defences and may increase susceptibility to other infections such as the Epstein-Barr and HHV-8
viruses which are associated with these types of lymphomas.
