Primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCLs) constitute a heterogeneous group of rare diseases. Previously, few studies have focused on the aspect of scalp involvement by PCLs. The objective of this study was to analyze the clinical presentation, diagnostic pathways, and treatment methods in patients diagnosed with scalp PCLs. A comprehensive literature review was conducted using the PubMed database, with the search terms "scalp" AND "cutaneous lymphoma", "folliculotropic mycosis fungoides" AND "scalp", "trichoscopy" AND "lymphoma", and "dermoscopy" AND "scalp" AND "lymphoma." The search was limited to articles published from database inception to May 2, 2024. Based on the title and abstract analysis, we included articles on PCLs involving the scalp. After a thorough review of the full manuscripts, several were excluded due to irrelevance, the absence of essential clinical data, discrepancies in patient age, gender, and diagnosis, and a lack of information pertinent to scalp PCLs. The literature search identified 1482 patients with scalp involvement in PCLs. Of the total number of cases, 1096 were diagnosed with B-cell PCLs, 384 with T-cell PCLs, and two cases lacked a precise PCL diagnosis. Primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma was the most frequently reported B-cell PCL of the scalp, while mycosis fungoides was the most common T-cell PCL. Alopecia was observed in 69.0% of the patients analyzed, with the most prevalent form being non-scarring focal alopecia. It is imperative to consider the scalp in patients with PCLs, particularly in light of the knowledge that some lymphomas affecting the scalp exhibit a higher degree of aggressiveness.
原发性皮肤淋巴瘤(PCLs)是一组异质性罕见疾病。此前,很少有研究关注PCLs累及头皮这一方面。本研究的目的是分析诊断为头皮PCLs患者的临床表现、诊断途径及治疗方法。使用PubMed数据库进行了全面的文献综述,检索词为“头皮”和“皮肤淋巴瘤”、“亲毛囊蕈样肉芽肿”和“头皮”、“毛发镜检查”和“淋巴瘤”以及“皮肤镜检查”和“头皮”和“淋巴瘤”。检索限于从数据库建立至2024年5月2日发表的文章。基于标题和摘要分析,我们纳入了涉及头皮的PCLs文章。在对全文进行全面审查后,由于不相关、缺乏基本临床数据、患者年龄、性别和诊断存在差异以及缺乏与头皮PCLs相关的信息,排除了几篇文章。文献检索确定了1482例PCLs累及头皮的患者。在所有病例中,1096例诊断为B细胞PCLs,384例诊断为T细胞PCLs,2例缺乏精确的PCL诊断。原发性皮肤滤泡中心淋巴瘤是头皮最常报道的B细胞PCL,而蕈样肉芽肿是最常见的T细胞PCL。在分析的患者中,69.0%观察到脱发,最常见的形式是非瘢痕性局灶性脱发。对于PCLs患者,必须考虑头皮情况,特别是鉴于一些累及头皮的淋巴瘤具有更高侵袭性这一认识。
