Please note that only patients diagnosed with skin lymphoma should schedule appointments at our center. If you are not sure about your skin condition diagnosis or are concerned about a skin lesion that has not been diagnosed as lymphoma, please call 410-955-5933 to request an appointment at one of our general dermatology clinics.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Please make sure to stop applying skin lotions or creams at the affected areas of your skin two weeks prior to your appointment.
Consultation
You will meet with a dermatologist, and possibly a cancer doctor, for about an hour.
Questionnaire
You may be asked to fill out a questionnaire that shows the impact of your skin lymphoma on different aspects of your life and well-being.
Testing
At your first appointment, we will conduct tests such as blood tests and a skin biopsy and review any test results you or your doctor have sent or brought to us to compare the results of our tests with those findings.
Imaging
For scans and x-rays, you may need another appointment. We will work with you and your schedule, particularly if you are traveling to Baltimore for care.
Meet the Experts
Although cutaneous lymphoma is a rare condition, our concentration in this area means we are familiar with what the condition means, what it is like to live with it, and the best means of treating it.
Refer a Patient
