A member asked:
Is it standard when doing a skin biopsy to run cd3 and if it's negative can it still be turning into lymphoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, it is not: A skin biopsy would only be done if there is a visible lesion(s) over the skin.Then a microscopic exam will reveal if there is any abnormal cells in the skin biopsy which may look like a lymphoma , in which case lymphoma markers like cd3 and others like it may be tested.
