Summary
Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL), a rare aggressive cancer, can present in the skin, even in immunocompetent individuals. Early diagnosis is crucial to differentiate it from other skin conditions.
Area of Science:
- Hematology
- Oncology
- Dermatology
Background:
- Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell lymphoma.
- It typically affects immunocompromised individuals, often associated with HIV.
- Cutaneous involvement is uncommon, particularly in immunocompetent patients.

01:15Secondary Lymphoid Organs
Secondary organs, including lymph nodes, the spleen, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), work harmoniously to protect us from disease and infection.
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...

01:30Skin 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...

01:31Pulmonary 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:
