Abstract:
The skin lesions of two elderly women lead us to the diagnosis of small cleaved lymphocytic B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, TNM stage IVb after clinical staging examinations. Relapses occurred within less than 1 year. Morphology, enzymhistochemistry (alkaline phosphatase in the first case), and immunohistochemistry (CD 5 positivity in the second case) in the skin biopsies supported the diagnosis of mantle-cell lymphoma. The histogenesis of the mantle-cell lymphoma is reviewed.
