Overview
Primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (PCFCL) can be defined as neoplastic proliferation of the follicle germinal center cells limited to the skin. PCFCL is a primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma composed of neoplastic B-cells with morphological and immunophenotypic properties of follicle center cells, usually a combination of centrocytes (small and large cleaved center cells) and a variable number of centroblasts (large noncleaved follicle center cells with prominent nucleoli). According to growth pattern, it is divided into follicular, diffuse and mixed pattern.
