Abstract
The management of refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is challenging and requires a multimodal approach. Radiotherapy is one of the treatment options used in managing CTCL, particularly for localized disease or as a palliative measure to control symptoms in advanced cases. The rarity of the disease makes it difficult to conduct extensive clinical trials and gather sufficient data on the most effective treatment approaches. Lymphocytes are among the most sensitive cells to radiation's damaging effects. Because of this sensitivity, radiation therapy can be an effective treatment. This case illustrates the efficacy of radiotherapy and its potential as an effective treatment alternative for a severe and resistant CTCL to systemic therapy in a 61-year-old Moroccan patient. The patient underwent curative high-dose radiation therapy, utilizing three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy. At the 19-month follow-up post-radiotherapy, no evidence of local recurrence, either clinically or radiologically, was observed, and the patient maintained a good quality of life with unrestricted mobility of his arm.
