چکیده
CBCL: cutaneous B-cell lymphoma INTRODUCTION Cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (CBCL) are a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative diseases that can be classified in 2 broad categories: primary and secondary. The latter implies a systemic lymphoproliferative disease that causes visible cutaneous lesions. Numerous articles regarding the diagnosis and treatment of primary CBCL have been published. However, there is a paucity of literature on local therapeutic options for secondary CBCLs. Therefore, we report a case of successful treatment of secondary CBCL with intralesional rituximab.
