| description | Cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type, is a rare, aggressive, and poorly prognostic neoplasm. It corresponds to 10-20% of cutaneous B-cell lymphomas and mainly affects the lower limbs of older women. We report the case of an 81-year-old woman with painful, fast-growing nodules and tumors in her left leg. Histopathological and immunohistochemical findings, associated with the absence of extra-cutaneous involvement during staging, concluded the diagnosis of cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type. The rarity of this limphoma, its typical clinic and epidemiology, and the excellent response to treatment motivated this report. |
