Primary cutaneous lymphomas form a heterogeneous group of diseases which, at the time of stating diagnosis, affect only skin and

have no obvious effect on lymphatic nodes or visceral organs. There is no causal therapy of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The aim of treatment

is to provide the longest possible disease remission, sustain the patients‘ life quality and prolong their lives as such. Bexarotene

is an effective and relatively safe preparation meant for treating aggressive cutaneous T-cell lymphoma as well as developed forms of

mycosis fungoides.

Keywords: primary cutaneous lymphoma, staging, prognosis, therapy, bexarotene
