Macular presentation of primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma with an intermittent clinical course

The differential diagnoses are extensive and, include several inflammatory skin conditions such as erysipelas, rosacea, temporal arteritis, macular sarcoidosis, lupus erythematosus, androgenetic or scarring alopecia, Borrelia infection, and neoplastic conditions such as cutaneous metastases or angio...

Description
Summary:The differential diagnoses are extensive and, include several inflammatory skin conditions such as erysipelas, rosacea, temporal arteritis, macular sarcoidosis, lupus erythematosus, androgenetic or scarring alopecia, Borrelia infection, and neoplastic conditions such as cutaneous metastases or angiosarcoma. [1] In fact, the final diagnosis could be established only upon histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry, which show the same features than more conventional presentations of the disease, allowing a precise diagnosis and classification. Besides posing a diagnostic challenge, the presence of diffuse, ill-defined macules poses another challenge - therapeutic. [...]we report a new case of primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma, showing an atypical clinical presentation characterized by macular lesions, of difficult clinical diagnoses, and an intermittent clinical course.
