Skin Cancer

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV

Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV

Tuberculosis, more commonly referred to as TB, is an infectious disease stemming from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While it primarily impacts the lungs, TB can also affect other body areas. Given its severity and global impact, timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for controlling its spread and improving patient outcomes.
Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...

Summary

A rare case of cutaneous Burkitt-like lymphoma (BLL) involvement is presented in a 27-year-old woman. This aggressive B-cell lymphoma, characterized by c-MYC translocation, rarely manifests in the skin.

Area of Science:

Hematology
Oncology
Dermatology

Background:

Burkitt-like lymphoma (BLL) is an aggressive B-cell neoplasm.
BLL shares c-MYC proto-oncogene translocations with Burkitt lymphoma.
Histopathologically, BLL is considered intermediate between Burkitt lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Observation:

A 27-year-old woman with a history of BLL presented with a rapidly growing suprapubic nodule.
Skin biopsy confirmed cutaneous involvement by BLL.

Findings:

Cutaneous BLL is an uncommon presentation.
This case highlights a rare manifestation of an aggressive lymphoma.

Implications:

Increased awareness of cutaneous BLL is needed for timely diagnosis.

Further research into BLL's diverse clinical presentations is warranted.

Understanding BLL's histopathologic spectrum aids in differentiating it from other lymphomas.
