Are there any Dermoscopic Signs of Primary Cutaneous Follicular Center B-cell Lymphoma?
Journal Title: International Journal of Cancer Studies & Research (IJCR) - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Cutaneous follicular center B-cell lymphoma is an indolent tumor that arise on head or neck. Histology by immunotyping with monoclonal antibodies in frozen or paraffin - embedded tissue is necessary for diagnosis. The tumor is usually treated by surgery or radiotherapy, although other treatments may be used such as interferon-α, chemotherapy, and biological agents. We report the case of a 70-year-old woman C, having a son followed in our department for Primary cutaneous follicular center B-Cell lymphoma who consulted for erythematous tumour in the temporal region that exhibit special features in dermoscopy and who was diagnosed with cutaneous follicular center B-cell lymphoma after biopsy, laboratory tests, thoracic-abdominal-pelvic computed tomography and abdominal ultrasound. These observation provide a first indication that early stage PCFCCL exhibits a characteristic dermoscopic pattern which is different. Prospective studies with long term follow-up are needed to determine the value of these dermoscopic.
