cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. A malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma with a predilection for infiltrating the skin. In its earliest stages, it often is mistaken for a mild, chronic dermatitis because it appears as itchy macules and patches, often on the chest or trunk.
For other uses, see Leopard (disambiguation), Leopards (disambiguation), and Leopardi (disambiguation). The leopard (Panthera pardus) /ËlÉpÉrd/ is one of the five big cats in the genus Panthera. It is a member of the family Felidae with a wide range in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia. Fossil records suggest that in the Late Pleistocene it occurred in Europe and Japan.
The leopard can be found in all of sub-Saharan Africa and west of the Kalahari Desert, and it is also found in the Middle East (Iran, Pakistan) and Asia (China, India, Indonesia, and Nepal). Since the leopard has such a wide range, there are probably over 30 subspecies of leopard. The size and weight of an adult leopard varies according to subspecies. The adult body length ranges from 3.4 feet to 6.6 feet and its body weight ranges from 65 to 155 lb. Females are generally smaller than males.
