Cervicofacial cellulitis can rarely indicate cutaneous lymphoma, a condition often resistant to treatment. Early diagnosis via biopsy and subsequent radio/chemotherapy are crucial for managing this rare presentation.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Cutaneous lymphomas are uncommon, typically presenting as persistent skin lesions.
  • Cervicofacial localization of these lymphomas is particularly rare.

Observation:

  • This study details two cases where cervicofacial cellulitis was the initial presentation of cutaneous lymphoma.
  • Patients did not respond to standard antibiotic treatments, necessitating further investigation.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis was confirmed through biopsies, revealing cutaneous lymphoma.
  • Both patients received radio and chemotherapy for their condition.

Implications:

  • Cellulitis can be an atypical sign of cutaneous lymphoma, especially on the face and neck.
  • Histopathological examination is vital for diagnosing suspected cutaneous lymphomas.
