Abstract:
Cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders include cutaneous manifestations of systemic B-cell or T-cell lymphoma and primary cutaneous lymphomas. Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas are subcategorised into four groups: primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma (PCMZL), primary cutaneous follicle centre lymphoma, primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg-type and EBV-positive mucocutaneous tumour. Each of these cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders has unique clinical and pathological features necessitating biopsy and staging to establish proper treatment. We present a case of PCMZL manifesting as secondary chilblains of the toes that was diagnosed with punch skin biopsy. The patient's chilblains resolved with rituximab. This case underscores the importance of considering PCMZL and other cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders in patients with dermatological manifestations and wounds refractory to first-line treatment.

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
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...
