Abstract
Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas are relatively rare types of non- Hodgkin's lymphoma with unique clinical presentation. Based on the WHO/EORTC classification, PCBCL are grouped in five major categories: marginal zone, follicular, diffuse large B cell of the leg type or nonleg type, and intravascular large B-cell lymphoma. In this chapter, we will review the clinical pathological characteristics of these categories and current treatment recommendations.
