Abstract
AbstractPrimary cutaneousγδT-cell lymphoma (PCGDTL) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that arises from T-cells withγδT-cell receptors. The exact incidence of PCGDTL is unknown, as it is usually lumped with other cutaneous lymphomas, which are also uncommon. It is one of the peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) subtypes which is known to have a dismal prognosis due to poor response and the paucity of available therapies. Despite the rarity and uncertainties of PCGDTL, a number of studies over the past decade were published about the pathologic, diagnostic, cytogenetic and clinical features of this disease. These diagnostic advances will open the doors to explore new therapeutics for this rare entity, specifically targeted and immune therapies. In this review, we highlight these advances, summarize the contemporary treatment approaches, and shed the light on future potential therapeutic targets.
