abstract ={Primary cutaneous lymphomas are rare manifestations of extranodal lymphomas. Comprising the majority
of cutaneous lymphoma cases with neoplastic B-cell origins, three main subtypes exist. In general, grossly
and microscopically these subtypes are similar. However, these are three distinct variants with diverse
clinicopathologic, cytogenetic, molecular, and prognostic features. Primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell
lymphoma, leg type is an exceedingly rare and aggressive variant of primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas.
Thus, increased clinical awareness is needed to differentiate between the three subtypes because earlier
identification not only leads to the appropriate treatment, but also improved survival. Here, characteristic
features of the three predominant variants of primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas are presented while
remaining focused on the most aggressive subtype- primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg
type.}
