A Massive Case of Cutaneous Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

J Drugs Dermatol. 2023 Dec 1;22(12):1223-1224. doi: 10.36849/JDD.6936.

Abstract

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and extranodal involvement is seen in approximately 40% of cases. However, cases involving the skin and muscle are rare, and skin manifestations most commonly present as plaques, papules, small nodules, or ulcers. In this report, we discuss a case of a large exophytic mass involving skin, soft tissue, and muscle initially thought to be baso-squamous carcinoma subsequently identified as DLBCL and treated solely with chemotherapy.
