Main Article Content
Abstract
Primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCL) are extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas affecting the skin without other systemic involvement at the time of diagnosis. Our case was a 62-year-old patient with PCBLC who had deep and multiple skin involvement but no systemic symptoms or involvement. At diagnosis, there was widespread skin involvement of the anterior chest wall, more pronounced on the left side. The patient received RT at 30 Gy/17 fractions for the lesions located on the anterior chest wall and 20 Gy/11 fractions as a boost to the primary mass. Six months after treatment, the patient demonstrated a near-complete response. In this case report, a case of primary B-cell cutaneous lymphoma with widespread chest wall involvement, which achieved a complete response to RT, is discussed with the literature.
