Specialty | Dermatology/ Oncology |
Cutaneous B-cell lymphomas constitute a group of diseases that occur less commonly than cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and are characterized histologically by B-cells that appear similar to those normally found in germinal centers of lymph nodes. [1]: 741 Conditions included in this group are: [1]: 740–743
Cutaneous B-cell lymphoma appears as single or many, often strongly consistent tumors, patches, plaques, and non-ulcerated nodules. While extracutaneous spread is a possibility, the disease usually stays restricted to the skin. [2]
Using a biopsy of the skin lesions, histological and cytological analyses, as well as phenotypic and genotypic studies, the diagnosis is made. [2]
