ABSTRACT
Linfomas cutâneos primários são a segunda forma mais comum de linfomas extranodais, sendo os linfomas de células B, (CBCLs) representantes de 20 a 30% dos casos. O linfoma cutâneo difuso de grandes células B, Tipo Perna (PCDLBCL-LT), representa o tipo mais agressivo de CBCLs. Na maioria dos casos, a apresentação clínica é caracterizada por placas ou tumores solitários, ora ulcerados, em uma ou ambas as pernas, de rápido crescimento. O diagnóstico é confirmado através do estudo histopatológico e imunohistoquímico. O tratamento é realizado por meio de quimioterapia e seu prognóstico é reservado com uma sobrevida de 50% a 60% em 05 anos. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar um caso atendido de linfoma cutâneo primário difuso de grandes células B, tipo perna em um paciente de 75 anos, do sexo masculino com apresentação clínica clássica e desfecho desfavorável, realizar uma revisão bibliográfica do período de 2010 a 2020 na base de dados PUBMED sobre o assunto, dada sua raridade e agressividade ímpar. As informações foram obtidas através de revisão do prontuário, registro fotográfico e revisão da literatura. Por tudo isso, pode-se concluir a importância de estudos multidisciplinares, envolvendo dermatologistas, hematologistas, oncologistas e patologistas para que o diagnóstico e tratamento sejam instituídos o mais precoce possível, visto a raridade e agressividade do PCDLBCL-LT.

Primary cutaneous lymphomas are the second most common form of extranodal lymphomas; with B cell lymphomas (CBCLs) representing 20 to 30% of cases. Diffuse cutaneous large B cell lymphoma, leg type (PCDLBCL-LT), represents the most aggressive type of CBCLs. In most cases, the clinical presentation is characterized by solitary plaques or tumors, sometimes ulcerated, on one or both legs, of rapid growth. The diagnosis is confirmed through histopathological and immunohistochemistry studies. Treatment is carried out through chemotherapy and its prognosis is reserved with a 50% to 60% survival in 5 years. The objective of this work is to report a case of diffuse primary B-cell cutaneous lymphoma, leg type in a 75-year-old male patient with a classic clinical presentation and unfavorable outcome, to perform a literary review from 2010 to 2020 in the PUBMED database on the subject, given its rarity and unique aggressiveness. The data was obtained by reviewing the medical record, photographic record and literature review. For all this, it is possible to conclude the importance of multidisciplinary studies, involving dermatologists, hematologists, oncologists and pathologists so that the diagnosis and treatment are instituted as early as possible, given the rarity and aggressiveness of the PCDLBCL-LT.

ABSTRACT
Resumen Introducción: El linfoma anaplásico de células T grandes CD30+ es un linfoma primario cutáneo en el cual no hay evidencia de enfermedad sistémica; para su diagnóstico es necesario el estudio histopatológico. Objetivo: Presentar los casos diagnosticados en el Departamento de Dermatología del Hospital General "Dr. Manuel Gea González" con linfomas anaplásicos de células T grandes primarios cutáneos CD30+ durante un periodo de 24 años. Método: Estudio retrospectivo en el que realizó estadística descriptiva. Se recopiló información de sexo, edad, características clínicas, resultados de pruebas complementarias, tratamientos previos y actuales, reportes de los estudios histopatológicos y de inmunohistoquímica. Resultados: Entre 29 309 expedientes, se encontraron nueve casos (0.000034 %) con diagnóstico de linfoma anaplásico de células T CD30+. Se hizo la confirmación del diagnóstico histopatológico e inmunohistoquímico por dos dermatopatólogos certificados. La edad promedio fue de 61.2 años, hubo predominio del sexo femenino y de lesión papular o nodular y topografía variada como presentación clínica inicial. Conclusiones: El pronóstico del linfoma anaplásico de células T grandes CD30+ en la población estudiada fue dependiente del estadio clínico. El tratamiento en etapas tempranas tiene resultados favorables.
Abstract Introduction: CD30+ anaplastic large T cell lymphoma is a cutaneous primary lymphoma in which there is no evidence of systemic disease; histopathological study is required for its diagnosis. Objective: To present the cases diagnosed with primary cutaneous CD30+ anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma over a 24-year period in Hospital General "Dr. Manuel Gea González" Department of Dermatology. Method: Retrospective study. Descriptive statistics was carried out. Information was collected on gender, age, clinical characteristics, complementary test results, previous and current treatments, histopathological studies reports and immunohistochemistry test results. Results: Of 29 309 records, nine patients (0.000034%) with a diagnosis of CD30+ anaplastic T cell lymphoma were found. Histopathological and immunohistochemical diagnosis was confirmed by two certified dermatopathologists. Average age was 61.2 years, and there was a predominance of the female gender, with initial clinical presentation as a papular or nodular lesion and varied topography. Conclusions: The prognosis of CD30+ anaplastic large T cell lymphoma in the studied population was dependent on clinical stage. The treatment at early stages has favorable results.

El linfoma cutáneo primario de células B (LCPCB) centrofolicular corresponde a una proliferación neoplásica infrecuente e indolente de células del centro germinal confinadas a la piel. Se reporta y revisa un caso de LCPCB centrofolicular. Paciente femenino de 76 años, con antecedentes de hipertensión arterial y resistencia a la insulina. Consultó por aumento de volumen frontal de dos años de evolución. Al examen físico destacaba un nódulo único en región frontal derecha. La ecografía de partes blandas fue compatible con quiste epidérmico. La histopatología demostró en dermis profunda, tejido adiposo subcutáneo y tejido muscular estriado una proliferación linfoide sólida dispuesta en patrón nodular y difuso. A la inmunohistoquímica (IHQ), los linfocitos fueron CD20 y BCL-6 positivo, con un Ki-67 de 60% y BCL-2, CD3, CD5 y CD10 negativo. El estudio de diseminación tumoral resultó negativo. El LCPCB centrofolicular concentra el 60% de todos los LCPCB. Se presenta en promedio a los 51 años. Se ha descrito asociación con Borrelia burgdorferi, VIH, virus hepatitis C y virus Epstein-Barr. Clínicamente corresponde a un nódulo eritematoso y asintomático, localizado preferentemente en cabeza, cuello y tronco. La IHQ es fundamental para diferenciarlo de otros tipos de LCPCB. Habitualmente, el tratamiento es con radioterapia o cirugía escisional. La supervivencia es de un 95% a 5 años. Se presenta este caso dado que el LCPCB centrofolicular corresponde a un tumor cutáneo infrecuente, con múltiples diagnósticos diferenciales, que requiere de un alto índice de sospecha para lograr un diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno.
The primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (PCFCL) corresponds to an infrequent and indolent neoplastic proliferation of germinal center cells confined to the skin. A case of PCFCL is reported and revised. Results: A female patient, 76 years old, with arterial hypertension and insulin resistance. Sough attention for an increase in size of the frontal region over the course of two years. Upon physical examination, a single nodule was noted in the right frontal region. A soft tissue ultrasound identified results indicative of an epidermal cyst. The histopathology revealed a proliferation of solid lymphoid arrayed in a diffuse and nodular pattern in the deep dermis, subcutaneous adipose tissue, and striated muscular tissue. Immunohistochemistry (IHQ) revealed CD20 and BCL-6 positive lymphocytes, with 60% of Ki-67 and BCL-2, CD3, CD5, and CD10 negative. A study of tumor dissemination resulted negative. The PCFCL concentrates 60% of all primary cutaneous B cell lymphomas (PCBCL). It presents at an average of 51 years of age. It has been described association with Borrelia burgdorferi, HIV, hepatitis C virus and Epstein-Barr virus. Clinically it corresponds to an erythematous and asymptomatic nodule, found frequently on the head, neck and trunk. The IHQ is essential to differentiate it from other types of PCBCL. It is usually treated with radiotherapy or excisional surgery. Survival is 95% over 5 years. This case is presented because the PCFCL corresponds to an infrequent cutaneous tumor, with multiple differential diagnoses, requiring a high index of suspicion to achieve an opportune diagnostic and treatment.
