Abstract

This article discusses the clinicopathologic and molecular features of primary cutaneous follicle center cell lymphoma, follicular type. Synthesis of morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular studies have clearly characterized this peculiar morphological variant of the cutaneous B-cell lymphomas. Although local recurrences can be frequently observed, the overall prognosis of these patients is very good and extracutaneous dissemination is very rare.
