The diagnosis of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) remains challenging. Demonstration of a clonal T-cell population using T-cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangement studies by next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been explored in several studies. This review summarizes the current literature on NGS-based sequencing methods for the assessment of TCR clonality in the evaluation of atypical cutaneous lymphoid infiltrates and CTCL on behalf of the American Society of Dermatopathology Appropriate …
