Abstract

Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas represent a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the skin without evidence of extracutaneous involvement at the time of diagnosis. According to the 2018 World Health Organization-the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer classification, primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas include primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma, primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma, primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type, intravascular large B-cell lymphoma, and Epstein-Barr virus+ mucocutaneous ulcer (provisional). Herein, we provide a comprehensive review of the updated literature on these entities, including clinical presentation, histopathology, immunophenotype, molecular genetics, prognosis, and treatment.

Keywords: Cutaneous B-cell lymphoma; EBV(+) mucocutaneous ulcer; IVLBCL; PCBCL; PCDLBCL-leg type; PCFCL; PCMZL.
