Abstract

Cutaneous T lymphoma is a relatively common type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). It originates in mature T lymphocytes in the skin and takes several anatomical and clinical forms which can be very aggressive. We report the therapeutic outcome of a case of cutaneous T lymphoma located in the left forearm treated by contact brachytherapy in the RadiotherapyBrachytherapy department of the HASSAN II university hospital center in FES. The patient remains without recurrence with more than 24 months of follow up. Radiotherapy is a therapeutic means for cutaneous T lymphomas of slow progression of early stage (stage I or II). Brachytherapy allows excellent local control with good results both carcinological and cosmetic.
