Objectives:
Cutaneous lymphoma is a broad term used to describe any type of lymphoma involving the skin. They may be primary, arising in the skin, or secondary, resulting from spread of a systemic lymphoma. Cutaneous involvement of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is extremely rare and most often occurs secondarily. To date, less than 100 cases of MCL involving the skin have been described in the English literature. We describe a case of MCL involving the skin as the clinical presentation of disease in a 74-year-old man and highlight the radiographic and pathologic findings, treatment course, and prognosis.

The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
