Primitive cutaneous centrofolliculaire lymphoma: about a case

Summary
B-cell cutaneous lymphomas are rare. They account for 10 to 20% of cutaneous lymphomas.

The languageification of the EORTC (European Organization for research and Treatment of Cancer) published in 1997 distinguishes two types of cutaneous lymphomas B: low-grade lymphomas (Immunocytomes and Centrofolliculaires lymphomas), and those of Less well-determined prognosis. The authors report here the observation of a primitive cutaneous centrofolliculaire lymphone in a 56-year-old patient with an infiltrated erythematous plaque from the extended scalp to the right hémiface.

Through a literature review, the authors will emphasize the particular clinico aspect of these centrofolliculaires cutaneous lymphomas.

Abstract
Cutaneous B cell lymphomas are rare, representing 10 to 20% of Cutaneous lymphomas. The EORTC Languageification (European Organization for research and Treatment of Cancer) published in 1997, define two groups of cutaneous B-cell lymphomas: The group of low grade lymphomas including Immunocytomas and primary follicular B-cell lymphomas, and The group of lymphomas of less well defined prognosis.

The authors report a case of a primary follicular cutaneous B-cell lymphoma occurring in a 56 years-old-man, presenting with an erythematous infiltrated plaque lesion of the scalp, extending to the right mid-face.

Through A review of the literature, the authors emphasize the particular clinicopathologic profile of these cutaneous follicular lymphomas.
