Résumé

Cutaneous lymphomas are a group of rare and distinct diseases that present varying clinical manifestations, histopathology and prognosis. Optimal and early management relies on accurate diagnosis. Unfortunately, clinical diagnosis in early stages is difficult due to the clinical overlap with other dermatologic conditions. In numerous cases, several consultations and multiple biopsies are required. Dermoscopy is frequently used for the evaluation of melanocytic skin tumors, but its value has been recognized for non-melanocytic neoplasms and inflammatory skin diseases, and in the last few years it has assisted with the diagnosis of cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD). Studies have shown that dermoscopy may be useful in the evaluation of cutaneous lymphomas, offering a link between clinical and histopathological examination, but the features are not diagnostic and histopathological confirmation is mandatory. However, dermoscopy can raise suspicion of cancer, leading to a skin biopsy. Furthermore, larger and prospective studies are required to define the exact dermoscopic features of every subtype of cutaneous lymphoma.
