Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Hematology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (PCBL) is an uncommon extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
  • PCBL predominantly affects the skin, with a predilection for the lower extremities.

Observation:

  • This case report focuses on a patient presenting with skin lesions characteristic of PCBL.
  • Histologic examination revealed sheets of immunoblasts and centroblasts, key diagnostic markers.

Findings:

  • The study highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with PCBL.
  • It underscores the importance of accurate histopathological analysis for definitive diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Effective diagnostic strategies are crucial for timely intervention in PCBL.
  • Optimal therapeutic approaches can improve patient outcomes for this rare lymphoma subtype.
