Follicular helper T cells are a subset of helper T cells that facilitate B-cell recruitment and maturation. Rare cases of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma manifesting as de novo tumor lesions in intertriginous skin contain an infiltrate rich in B cells. These cases may represent malignant counterparts of skin-homing follicular helper T cells.
