| | Primary Large B-cell Lymphoma of the Skin |
 | | Although primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) except for those of the leg are grouped together with primary cutaneous follicle center cell lymphoma in the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer classification of primary cutaneous lymphomas, they typically lack the usual phenotypic profile of follicular lymphoma. |
 | | Primary cases were frequently found in the head/neck region, whereas secondary cases were more common on the trunk and extremities. |
 | | Of the 4 patients with primary cutaneous DLBCL of the lower extremity (thigh, knee, leg), 2 (50%) experienced a recurrence and 1 patient died of disease. |
