Abstract

Cutaneous lymphomas (CL) are a group of rare subtypes of lymphomas that affect the skin and require timely diagnosis and treatment. The study aimed to assess the prevalence of CL in the United States population sing the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The results showed that the highest prevalence of CL was observed in the 65-69 age group and 75-79 age group for males and females respectively with an overall prevalence rate of .000007%. These findings highlight the need for further research to better understand the underlying factors contributing to the prevalence of CL in the United States population, and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for improving outcomes.
