Lymphoma that starts somewhere else in the body (for example, in the lymph glands, bone marrow, liver or gut) and then spreads to the skin is not a skin lymphoma. Most skin lymphomas are slow-growing (low-grade) but some can be fast-growing (high-grade).

Skin lymphoma is not a type of skin cancer (where the cancer develops from skin cells). Skin lymphomas (also known as ‘cutaneous’ lymphomas) are lymphomas that develop in the skin and are not affecting any other areas of the body at the time they are diagnosed. There are many different types of lymphoma. Lymphoma is a cancer that starts in white blood cells called lymphocytes, which are part of your immune system.
