The association between non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia,
and aggressive skin cancers is well established. This review highlights existing data that
address increased incidence and clinical characteristics of skin cancers in patients with non-
Hodgkin lymphoma—specifically, chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Patients with non-Hodgkin

Abstract
The association between non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and aggressive skin cancers is well established. This review highlights existing data that address increased incidence and clinical characteristics of skin cancers in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma—specifically, chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma have worse outcomes when melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers develop. The poorer outcomes in these patients are evidenced by increased rates of local recurrence, regional metastasis, and death.
