ABSTRACT
In the WHO-EORTC (World Health Organization-European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer) classification, the primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas were divided into 4 groups primary cutaneous marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, primary cutaneous follicle center cell lymphoma, primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, other, and primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type (PCLBCL LT). PCLBCL LT is known to have more aggressive clinical behavior and a worse prognosis than the other groups of primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas. We report here on a case of PCLBCL LT in a 55-year-old male who presented witha multiple erythematous nodules on the right leg. After chemotherapy, the skin lesions had almost cleared, but afterward the tumor was revealed to have metastasized to the brain during 1 year.
