BACKGROUND Distinct categories of skin lymphoma with preferential site localization and unique clinical behavior, including leg-type primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, have recently been described. Although these entities are rare, they exhibit reproducible clinicopathologic features, and their recognition may allow more appropriate treatment protocols. OBSERVATIONS We describe ...

Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma, leg type, is an uncommon and aggressive subtype of Primary cutaneous B cell lymphoma that is recently updated by the World Health Organization–European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer classification of cutaneous lymphomas. We present a case of an 80-year-old woman who presented with redness and swelling mimicking cellulitis of her right leg, ...

Within the large framework of the lymphoproliferative diseases, the primary cutaneous lymphomas are distinct pathologic conditions, defined by particular morphologic, immunologic, genetic, and clinic criteria. The study aimed to create the first clinicopathological and immunohistochemical profile of primary cutaneous lymphoma for a Romanian region. We investigated a series of 16 cases (diagnose...

Extranodal natural killer/T-cell (ENK/T) lymphoma is a rare neoplasm, subcategorized into ENK/T-nasal (ENK/T-N) and ENK/T-nasal type (ENK/T-NT) lymphomas. ENK/T-NT lymphoma with initial presentation in the skin is known as primary cutaneous ENK/T-NT (PC-ENK/T-NT) lymphoma. The aim of this study was to investigate pathogenesis, genomic alterations, and prognosis of cutaneous ENK/T lymphomas to p...

Primary cutaneous CD30(+) lymphoproliferative disorders (CD30(+) LPDs) are the second most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas and include lymphomatoid papulosis and primary cutaneous anaplastic large-cell lymphoma. Despite the anaplastic cytomorphology of tumor cells that suggest an aggressive course, CD30(+) LPDs are characterized by an excellent prognosis. Although a broad spectrum of ...
