Abstract

We herein report a case of secondary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL) occurring in a 66-year-old woman. The skin lesions were erythematous infiltrative nodules on the right inguinal area. Histologically, the skin lesion disclosed DLBCL mainly composed of immunoblasts. Concurrently, she showed lymph node involvement. Initially, however, we could not define the conclusive temporal sequences between nodal lesions and skin lesions. Finally, additional further studies revealed this case as secondary cutaneous 8-cell lymphoma, and she was managed with systemic chemotherapy.
