Blastoid mantle cell lymphoma: cutaneous infiltration

Abstract Mantle cell lymphoma is an aggressive B-cell, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, with lymph node or extranodal origin, and a mean survival of three to five years. Skin involvement is rare, secondary and indicates neoplasia dissemination. The authors report a case of a female patient, 69 years old, diagnosed previously, after lymph node and bone marrow biopsy. She was undergoing the second chemotherapy regimen when she showed infiltrated plaque-like lesions, nodules and tumors on the trunk and thigh root. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry demonstrated cutaneous infiltration of the blastoid lymphoma.
