Cutaneous B-cell lymphomas constitute a group of diseases that occur less commonly than
B-cells that appear similar to those normally found in germinal centers of lymph nodes.[1]: 741 Conditions included in this group are:[1]
: 740–743
- Primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type
- Primary cutaneous follicular lymphoma
- Primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma
- Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma
- Plasmacytoma
- Plasmacytosis
Signs and symptoms
Cutaneous B-cell lymphoma appears as single or many, often strongly consistent tumors, patches, plaques, and non-ulcerated nodules. While extracutaneous spread is a possibility, the disease usually stays restricted to the skin.[2]
Diagnosis
Using a biopsy of the skin lesions, histological and cytological analyses, as well as phenotypic and genotypic studies, the diagnosis is made.[2]
