چکیده
Introduction: Primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCL) are a heterogeneous group of extra nodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas defined as malignant tumor derived from B, T or natural killer cells. Primary cutaneous follicle centre lymphoma (PCFCL), represents the most common type of primary cutaneous BCell Lymphomas. Case Report:We present the case of three female patients with facial PCFCL, all of them with excellent respond to radiotherapy. Discussion: Multiple treatments for PCFCL have been described, including systemic or intralesional Rituximab, surgery or radiotherapy. We present these 3 cases of PCFLC treated with radiotherapy in our service, because of the excellent response, confirming radiotherapy as a therapeutic alternative.

متن کاملCutaneous primary B-cell lymphomas: from diagnosis to treatment*
Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of mature B-cells neoplasms with tropism for the skin, whose biology and clinical course differ significantly from the equivalent nodal lymphomas. The most indolent forms comprise the primary cutaneous marginal zone and follicle center B-cell lymphomas that despite the excellent prognosis have cutaneous recurrences very commonly. The ...
