Selection of a topic for this symposium was chosen because of the important educational aspects resulting from the complexity of the subject, the interest in skin lymphomas in the community, and recent changes in the classification as evidenced by the new EORTC/WHO classification just published. Skin lymphomas are common and problematic in terms of diagnosis and management to both the pathology and dermatology community. There have been significant recent advances in classification of these neoplasms, particularly in the European and World Health Organization classifications which have recently been reconciled. Considerable new and important data regarding these neoplasms has arisen from new techniques such as gene expression profiling in cutaneous lymphomas. This topic has not been previously discussed in depth at one of the society’s symposia.
