About this trial
This document is a protocol for a non-interventional human research study in which the investigator hopes to better understand the changes that take place in T cells in Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). The purpose of this study is to establish a protocol for the collection and storage of tissue samples from patients with CTCL for future research studies. Collection and storage of tissue samples from control patients will also be carried out.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers

Disqualifiers
Patients with a history of previous lymphoma other than CTCL or SS or LYP.

Current, viable pregnancy.
Anemia with a documented hemoglobin laboratory value of <7.5 g/dl within the past 6 months.
Trial population
This protocol is for the collection of biological specimens from patients who fall into the following three groups: 1. Patients with diagnosis of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (diagnosed according to the WHO-EORTC criteria) 2. Patients with benign dermatoses, including but not limited to psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis. 3. Healthy controls
