Abstract:
Primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (PCDLBCLs) represent approximately 10%-20% of primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas. They present as nodules in the skin or as rapidly growing aggressive behavior tumors with a poor prognosis. In this article, we report a case of PCDLBCL presented with an aggressively enlarging skin lesion on the right cheek. This case was diagnosed based on clinicopathological features and characteristic immunohistochemical expression. During the 11-month follow-up period, the patient showed significant clinical improvement after undergoing rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone, abbreviated as R-CHOP chemotherapy, without evidence of extracutaneous dissemination or disease relapse.
